Apple is trying to do away with inetd, xinetd, SystemStarter, and other various ways that daemons get launched, either at startup or on demand, and replacing them all with a new tool called launchd. This article describes it well:
<http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20050620071558293> This would be an excellent opportunity for somebody with a good grasp of both RB and Unix to make a configuration tool -- something to take the pain out of creating, examining, and editing launchd daemons and agents. Mostly this amounts to understanding the format of the plist files launchd uses, and putting a friendly UI on them.
