The systemd house of horror

Here are some examples of how people commonly use systemd in an egregiously wrong manner.

• Wrapping Apache Tomcat in many pointless extra layers
• Useless use of System 5 rc scripting with WSO2 Carbon Server
• You really don't need to daemonize. Really.

Don't ask me why, so far, all of these have involved starting Java programs.

Maybe it's Oracle in general.

• If you have two services, define two services.

You can also read about the unnecessary horror that is ossec-control and the OSSEC HID service that is special.
