Systemd in SUSE® Enterprise 12

Introduced with SUSE® Linux Enterprise 12, system is the new system startup and service manager for Linux, replacing the old System V init (SysV init). Now you can forget everything you ever knew about how Linux systems start up and manage services. systemd is different, and you need to understand how to work with it. As mentioned, the way to describe things to systemd is via unit files. Unit files take a much more standardized approach to describing a service than the LSB header: while the latter was added as a bit of an afterthoughtto make scripts more manageable, systemd’s unit files are an integral part ofthe design. Unit files primarily serve as a collection of meta information, with perhaps a few lines of shell code that actually start, stop or restart the service.
