    Interesting.  CentOS 7.1 includes a default rc.local that has this
    comment in it:<br>
    <br>
    # In contrast to previous versions due to parallel execution during
    boot<br>
    # this script will NOT be run after all other services.<br>

                  Hi Jim,<br>
                  <br>
                  I think for your next presentation, you should either
                  get rid of all<br>
                  comparisons to sysvinit and Upstart, or include
                  comparisons to runit,<br>
                  OpenRC, Epoch, Suckless Init plus s6 plus LittKit,
                  Suckless Init plus<br>
                  daemontools-encore plus LittKit, and the soon to be
                  published s6-rc.<br>
                  <br>
                  If your presentation is simply "how to use systemd",
                  you need no<br>
                  comparisons. If your presentation includes "why
                  systemd is better", it<br>
                  would be misleading not to include the many excellent
                  init systems<br>
                  available.<br>
