Would probably be more effective to mess with Linux config files that use semicolons. Especially if it's run as a daemon because Systemctl doesn't always return helpful error messages for configuration errors.
would you say openRC or rc-service returns better or more helpful error messages with these kinds of things?
I think most daemons would log a helpful enough error message regarding incorrect syntax e.g. if it's a config file of variable=value; format then it wouldn't expect two equals signs on the same line.
I too wish to see these not-so-helpful error messages (not denying just new)
