code:
if [[ `ps aux | grep servicename | wc -l` < 1 ]]; then 
	/etc/init.d/servicename restart
fi
alternatively stop expecting an init system to be a service manager and apt-get install monit, gently caress.

you fall in love with your computer. small details of the workings of your operating system become part of your identity, though you can't really understand it...then, the computer changes. is this still the computer you fell in love with? why do things need to change?

"it is not written in bash"

"it was started by Lennart Poettering"

"I don't like the (optional) on-disk format of the journal"

"it uses dbus"

"systemd's PID1 does more and is bigger than sysvinit's PID1"

"I think there might be this other project that possibly is doing something similar. I don't really know anything about it, but I'm pretty sure it is better than systemd"

doesn't systemd mount the EFI variables as read-write by default, so it's possible to literally brick your hardware by accidentally deleting the directory they're mounted under?

edit: apparently somebody already brought this up. "well, in this one case that doesn't happen very often, systemd will need to write to them so they're mounted read-write by default at all times for everybody. if this ruins your computer then you should buy another less lovely one anyway and git gud."

I think this is now fixed on the kernel level, all important efivarfs entries gets the immutable attr set
