ya see, when i ssh into a server and i run some commands, sometimes i mess up, see, and i wanna reboot to get the system back to a known state, right
and even if the system is in an unknown or invalid state, right,
i don’t wanna wait half a bloody hour for systemd to get tired of waiting for 1m30s countdowns and actually bounce the damn machine, if it bounces at all
and i can’t just hold the power button, see, because i’m 2000 miles away from the bloody box
(I did not make that number up, by the way. I once has a hard drive get hot removed while it was mounted, couldn’t umount it so I had to reboot, and it confused systemd so bad it took 27 minutes to shut down)
EDIT: aw come on, are you really gonna downvote without leaving a reply?

how is this any diffrent from SysV scripts hanging and preventing a reboot that way…
you are blaming SystemD for an issue not part of SystemD, but a generic computing issue…
and yes, you can still just hard reboot your system with SystemD as @elscallr@lemmy.world has point out…
I want init 6 back! It’s a reflex to type that.
