It would be very cool if there was a similar graph for the entire boot process: from grub to init to rc.d/systemd to login to bash.


Not hard to produce - the most difficult bit is finding someone, anyone, who actually has the information!


You can use

    systemctl dot
It shows the dependency graph of your unit files.


It should be noted this is for systems that use Systemd, which as far as I'm aware of, is only Fedora at this stage.


OpenSuse also ships with systemd per default. Other distributions like Arch or Debian support systemd as well.

http://www.bootchart.org/ is also quite interesting to understand the boot process better and profile it.


Ah, I had a suspicion OpenSuse would, as it follows Fedora quite closely. Bootchart is also quite interesting.


Thanks - looks interesting. Not installed on my system - I'll have to go investigate that in my copious free time.
