FreeBSD's init system was just that much of a hassle for me.

@Saorsa@neondystopia.world @rl_dane@polymaths.social @squirtle@neondystopia.world The rc(8) is quite simple and well documented: - https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/rc-scripting/ - https://man.freebsd.org/rc.d/8 But also new FreeBSD rcd(8) service manager daemon is in the works: - https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2026-June/006427.html Think of rcd(8) as launchd(8) or systemd(1) FreeBSD altarnative - w/o issues of both of them. ... and that new rcd(8) does not rewrite anything - it still uses the same existing rc(8) infra - so You can to things 'today way' and new rcd(8) way ... best of both worlds.
