Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8e3fee33af Revert "docs: use collections to structure the data"
This reverts commit 5e8ff010a1.

This broke all the URLs, we can't have that. (And actually, we probably don't
_want_ to make the change either. It's nicer to have all the pages in one
directory, so one doesn't have to figure out to which collection the page
belongs.)

System and Service Manager

systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system.

systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a replacement for sysvinit.

Other parts include a logging daemon, utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname, date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users and running containers and virtual machines, system accounts, runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution.

{{ pair.name }}

{% assign sorted = pair.items | sort:"title" %}{% for page in sorted %}

  • [{{ page.title }}]({{ page.url | relative_url }}){% endfor %} {% endif %} {% endfor %}
