  • OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems
    How does it compare to Runit[[0] used by Void Linux? [0]http://smarden.org/runit/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • SystemD vs Runit. Just a suggestion, not fight.
    Still, I can try to give you a rundown of Runit. Essentially, it's an init system that uses init scripts, but it has a bit more structure to improve on the shortcomings of sysvinit.

  • [Software Development][Linux] The bitter fight over how Linux should run
    Because the only requirement imposed by the Linux kernel on the init process is that it has to exist, there are many different ways to implement it. One of the usual roles filled by the init system is to launch and monitor background processes (called daemons).
