Understanding and Using systemdErik JohnsonThursday April 20th 2017 at
6:30pm - 8:30pm
Bolingbrook, Fountaindale Library, Meeting Room B
<http://uniforumchicago.org/meetings/systemd.html#GettingThere>


Join us at the Bolingbrook Fountaindale Public Library
<http://fountaindale.org/> for what will be a very interesting, intriguing
and useful presentation that will be of particular interest to Linux system
administrators, engineers and enthusiasts.  Looking under the hood of the
Linux operating system, Erik Johnson will provide a guided tour of systemd
which has become the new init system for more and more Linux
distributions. *This
will be a technical and system level presentation and discussion.*
Abstract

systemd is a Linux-only replacement for the old SysV init system which has
been around for decades. Beginning development in 2010, it is now the
de-facto init system for most Linux distributions. This presentation will
give an overview of systemd and some of its numerous subsystems, and
demonstrate how to use it to manage services (and more). Attendees are
encouraged to bring their laptops so they can follow along and experiment
with commands on their own. A simple way to check if systemd is present on
your laptop is to run "command -v systemctl". If a path is returned (for
example, "/usr/bin/systemctl") then you are already running systemd. If
not, download a LiveCD from any recent Fedora, SUSE, Linux Mint, or Ubuntu
release, and boot into the LiveCD.
