Systemd

systemd is a Linux initialization system and service manager introduced in 2010 and adopted by default in RHEL 7.0 (2014), that includes features like:

• On-demand starting of daemons
• Inhibitor Locks which allows to block or delay system sleep and shutdown requests from the user
• Mount and automount point maintenance (systemd-mount, systemd-umount )
• Snapshot support
• Processes tracking using Linux control groups (systemd-cglssystemd-cgtop)
• Logging daemon, see journalctl and systemd-cat
• resource management

Config files:

• /etc/systemd/logind.conf
