Very interesting... thanks for that link. AIX has had something very similar for as long as i remember, called the Service Resource Controller (srcmstr). I don't like it cause it's too complicated for what it does, but has most of the features you mention. AIX has a very primitive BSD init... so primitive that IBM said to start a program at boot, add it to /etc/inittab! i normally create an /etc/rc.local for this though. Most system tasks are started from srcmstr.
I read that Solaris 10 has a new-fangled init that does stuff similar to what the AIX srcmstr and the new FC init's do. I haven't had a chance to run Solaris 10 though. ray On Mon, 27 Jun 2005, Tim Fournet wrote: > And at the same time, the SysV fans are moving to something even more modern > ;) > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FCNewInit is a good starter for looking at some > of the new ideas and tools for a faster/better bootup manager.
