Open Source Init Software

qingy is a replacement of getty. Written in C, it uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, gnome, kde, wmaker, ...).

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 )

FreeRC is an init suite consisting of boot scripts written in Lua and a small, fast, and portable init daemon.

Many complex storage environments running within GNL/Linux could benefit from increased disassembly and resource remediation during shutdown. Underdog an alternate /init to create a "late" user context to resume control during shutdown to park media and detach network devices. Currently there is a fully working initramfs (mkinitramfs/mkinitrd) replacement that is capable of building the early user context images both as separate files or built into the kernel image. The working proof of concept code for the alternate /init is too messy to sahre just now. /doh.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A set of tools to generate and build a customized initramfs, for simple mounting tasks, such as setting up a unionfs system. Written for a small footprint and fast execution. Compatible with both glibc and uClibc.

tcron integrates 'cron/at' with ATX power-up capability. It can invoke multiple cron/at jobs with power-up/shutdown a day. You can use it to: 1. Power up to play muisc/sound and shutdown (super alarm). 2. Record TV/Radio programs
