These aren’t really better, they are just different ways of doing things the old fashioned way.

(e.g. put all your logic in one script, test it with “env -“, lock exclusively with flock if you need it, or whatever else you have to hand in your language of choice.)

:shrug:, yeah the old fashioned way is possible too (I have to support both), systemd just gives a consistent pattern to make common tasks easy.
