What's an init script? Today a lot of systems are cropping up to replace the traditional Service management in Unix-like systems. To sort out the landscape, I thought I'd put together a little page here.
* [[wp:Launchd]] is used by Mac OSX and except for license problems, could have become a contender in the GNU/Linux world.
* [[wp:OpenRC]] On Unix-like systems, OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system-provided init program, normally /sbin/init; however, it is not a replacement for /sbin/init.
