  • "Nitro" - Halfway Between init.d and SystemD

    . . .

    Not sure I'd trust so early a release, but it
    seems to have the right philosophy. Init.d is
    pretty clunky and system.d is just *too* at
    this point.

    Is there any distro that already supports it or plans to do so?

    From <https://inbox.vuxu.org/supervision/87ect3sa27.fsf@vuxu.org/>:

    - One single self-contained binary

    So not modular, like systemd?

    - No configuration compilation steps needed, services are simple
    directories containing scripts.

    We got away from full-on scripts when systemd introduced a simple
    declarative format for its service definitions. Here somebody is
    trying to go full circle.

    - Can be run on FreeBSD from /etc/ttys ...

    Some in the BSD world are already working on their own
    systemd-workalike. ItrCOs called rCLInitWarerCY.

    Will keep track of that.

    Anyway, the init.d/systemd dichotomy has
    created FACTIONS.

    Something in-between might fix that.
