+long_desc="
+ systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB
+ init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses 
+ socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of 
+ daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and 
+ restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points and 
+ implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. 
+ It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
