Open Source Init Software

InitNG strived to replace the old System V Init completelty. It offers faster startup through parallelization, service and demon monitoring, logging facilities and a dynamic run-time dependency configuration.

rc.stupid a Linux daemon that: - repeatedly runs a start script at system startup until this script exits with zero status - regulary runs a check script - runs a stop script at system shutdown Why ? Because startup systems like systemd and upstart are sometimes hard to tune in many situations, like MySQL data directory on a networked filesystem. As rc.stupid does nothing other as running scripts (or anything that may be executed) you may find other use cases like simple clustering.
