[ale] Do One Thing Well

[Jerald Sheets]

I’m on CentOS7 and it reports the following as the source of the “system” command:

initscripts-9.49.37-1.el7_3.1.x86_64 : The inittab file and the /etc/init.d
                                     : scripts
Repo        : @updates
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/sbin/service


—jms


So, it’s there from “initscripts”, but works with SystemD.  I don’t know why, but I find that mildly humorous.
