curprev 01:0001:00, 26 May 2025 Guy Harris talk contribs 11,643 bytes +239 →Unix-like systems: Note that the traditional init would *not* restart daemons, which is why making it it possible to restart them from the command line is useful. undo

curprev 22:5922:59, 25 May 2025 Guy Harris talk contribs 10,443 bytes −301 Move the details about starting daemons on Unix-like systems from the lead to the "Unix-like systems", where it belongs. Remove the "In the strictly technical sense" noise, as it's inaccurate. Put the "double forking blah blah blah" way of starting a daemon at the end, and give more of he usual ways. Just speak of the "blah blah blah" as necessary for daemons run from the command line, as most of that is getting rid of stuff a "launched from init" daemon doesn't have in the first place. undo
curprev 22:2822:28, 25 May 2025 Guy Harris talk contribs 10,744 bytes +279 →Terminology: Note that the backronym is bogus, using the Jargon File as a reference for it being incorrect. Add some examples of people (falsely) saying it means "disk and execution monitor", as citations for the claim that people said it means "disk and execution monitor". undo
