It is the default init system for a lot of distros and is awesome to manage services, sockets, timers, (and much more but we don&rsquo;t talk about that).</p> <h2 id="what-is-a-unit">What is a unit?</h2> <p>A unit is a configuration file that describes a process or a group of processes. It configures how the process should be started, stopped, restarted, and so on. It declares the dependencies between units and the order in which they should be started. It can also configure the resources that the process requires, such as the amount of memory or the number of open files.</p>
