But, I see the need in a few months. Right now, I can see VM's
Programmable Operator handling some of the function, but VM would be
required. I'm thinking something that is more general (without the
need
for VM) and would also work on Linux on Intel, servers.
Please take a look at the SYSVINIT package at sinenomine.net.
It does pretty much what you have described, although it uses both
Rexx and PROP to do the job. So it's not a non-VM solution, and it
is used for starting *virtual machines*. If you want to start
processes within a Linux machine, well, that's pretty much what the
start-stop-daemon or daemon programs do, plus there will be some sh
functions in the init scripts to handle retcodes appropriately.
