No. You can believe you can see exactly what they are doing. But the
script shell is a nightmare. Some are using sh other are using bash.
And they rely heavily on environment variables which have different
values depending on a lot of things, mostly at the starting time. So,
no. Definitively no. If I agree systemd can is difficult to learn, I
fully disagree saying sysvinit is simple and easy.

Once again I agree systemd is difficult. And there is no documentation
to start from nothing to become a master: the documentation is spread
everywhere and difficult to follow without loosing what you are looking
for. But once again, I disagree saying that systinit is easy and good.
