Benefits

Benefits1 compared to traditional process launchers and system boot mechanisms, like System V init, include:

  • Ability to restart services which have failed
  • The fact that it does not require the use of "pidfiles"
  • Clean process state
  • Reliable logging, because the master process can capture the stdout/stderr of the service process and route it to a log
  • Faster (concurrent) and ability to start up and stop
