System-D: Linux System and Service Manager

A powerful tool for managing system processes, daemons, and background services on Linux operating systems.

What is System-D?

System-D is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems that is designed to replace SysVinit. It handles starting, stopping, and managing background services, daemons, and other system processes.

Some key features of System-D include:

  • Parallel startup of system services at boot time, speeding up the boot process
  • On-demand activation of daemons rather than starting everything at boot time
  • Dependency-based service control, allowing daemons to be started in the correct order
  • Watchdog support to monitor and restart crashed processes
  • Unified service configuration via unit files, instead of multiple init scripts

System-D aims to be faster, more capable, and more flexible than SysVinit. It is natively supported in many modern Linux distributions like Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. System administrators can use the systemctl command to manage services with System-D.
