Open Source Init Software - Page 4

a new kind of OS. just an experimental and limited system to test a new concept based of user centric view, but nothing is done because it's "normal" in all OSes , everything is thinked again. The aim is to manage information (represented as XML) wit

This is a really simple BOOTP server, which uses NIS maps to retrieve host information (host name, IP address).

cinit is a fast, parallel booting, true dependency supporting init system with support for profiles.

Set of tools needed to setup and maintain encrypted partitions under unix systems (initially linux). Especially helpfull when doing root device encryption. Features xml configuration, multiple users, usb "tokens" (usb mass storage) and key hierarchy.

daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services

Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process to set up.

Lightweight containers have made running a single process without normal init systems like systemd or sysvinit practical. However, omitting an init system often leads to incorrect handling of processes and signals, and can result in problems such as containers that can’t be gracefully stopped, or leaking containers that should have been destroyed. dumb-init is simple to use and solves many of these problems: you can just add it to the front of any container’s command, and it will take on the role of PID 1 for itself. It immediately spawns your process as PID ~2, and then proxies on any signals it receives. This helps to avoid special kernel behavior applied to PID 1, while also handling regular responsibilities of the init system (like reaping orphaned zombie processes). dumb-init is a simple process supervisor and init system designed to run as PID 1 inside minimal container environments (such as Docker). It is deployed as a small, statically-linked binary written in C.

eINIT is a replacement for the long standard sysvinit. It aims to be yet one of the fastest and most configurable init systems around.

eINIT is an Init System for POSIX-compliant operating systems. The primary focus is on speed and modularity and, unlike other init systems, this one can be used in combination with others. Benchmarks suggest that einit is faster than initng and upstart.

An encrypted root overlay fs. Provides initrd data. For instructional use only.

Another hobby OS.

genhostname is a linux perl script running at runlevel2 boot and changes the computers hostname to PC-XXXXXXXXXX deppending on the eth0 mac address or the wireless network card macaddress there is 2 scrips in the download. install the one you need.

Getwifi allows Linux users to join wireless networks easily by joining available networks in an order specified by the user. Getwifi is configured using a single file which specifies networks, optional WEP keys, and the order in which to join networks.

A set of bash scripts implementing hardware and system profiles for linux. Configuration files may be switched and scripts run dependent on the state of things such as hardware configuration, power management, or network connections.

LVM - HPUX version tools for linux. New! Get freevxfs driver for mounting HP-UX VxFS filesystem on Linux! Had been tested on Physical/VMware RHEL 4 or 5 servers. Please send feedbacks and requests to zanzamer1@yahoo.com.

init4boot provides iSCSI boot for Xen dom0 and domU, kvm guests and bare metal systems - currently for Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora. It's an extensible tool set for creating initramfs with support for: iSCSI, lvm2, md, multipath, network, tftp config,

Libinitmon is a library targeted for those who wants to create its own init/bootup daemon. It supports: - dependencies tracking - pid watchdog - wait for TCP, UDP, Unix sockets

Custom Lua interpreter, libraries, and bindings for Unix platforms

lzboot is a bootloader that easy enough, and only support arm920t, s3c2440

Simple `init' program with parallel execution and dependencies via reference counting (`start' and `stop' commands).

The odikadhcpd server is an open source dhcp server that works behind a relay dhcp. It couldn't be installed in front of a dhcp client. It is designed to respond to Telco providers or enterprises needs, which want a centralized dhcp server solution. * hooks for pre-process and post-process dhcp request * modular solution with referential in file,ldap,mysql and lease in mysql * support customize referentiel and lease solution * support integration of lease database with powerdns backend. * support overlaping subnet ( use for example in vcpe solution )

OpenBoot is a boot loader supporting multi CPU-architectures. It is configurable and portable, and its source codes are enough clear to read.

Init script do RW overlay of basis system which is published by NFS as RO. Feature of this is overlay sandwich of any NFS remote dir, into one system tree.

pinit is a sysvinit alternative. It's a different way of booting linux. Keywords are: xml configuration, fast and parallel booting of services, modular design, dependecy based booting of services. It's intented to be more robust and faster than sysvini
