Sorry, the partially-quoted mail came out hopelessly garbled as I somehow managed to trigger a 'send this email now!' key combo while editing it. Here's a fixed-up version.
So, knowing that my new universe starts with systemd, I followed my instincts:
$ systemd --help $ systemd --test
Your instincts need tweaking. When you absolutely know a given 'thing' is made up of a single command, this is a good way to go. systemd is not such a case. You don't use the systemd executable to manage systemd, in most cases, so looking at the help for the systemd executable isn't going to tell you much.
A better entry point in this case is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd
which lists all the most common operations you'll need. Further reading at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd : the Tips and Tricks and FAQ pages especially.
I humbly submit to you that a possible explanation for why there hasn't been a lot of heat around systemd lately is that it's working very well.
