From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
systemd is a system management daemon designed for Linux and programmed exclusively for the Linux API. For systems using it, it is the first process which is executed in user space during the Linux startup process. Therefore, systemd serves as the root of the user space's process tree. The name systemd adheres to the Unix convention of making daemons easier to distinguish by having letter d as the last one in their actual filenames.[5]
