procd is described as 'Process and system init service for OpenWRT. It's less resource intensive as it's intended for embedded devices, works with busybox and uClib, hotplug2, libubox and ubus. It watches configuration files to start or restart services and init' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to procd for a variety of platforms, including Linux, BSD, FreeBSD, Docker and DragonFly BSD apps. The best procd alternative is systemd, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like procd are OpenRC, Launchd, Supervisor and sysvinit.
systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system.
systemd is the most popular Linux alternative to procd.
systemd is the most popular Open Source & free alternative to procd.
OpenRC is a dependency-based init system that works with the system provided init program, normally /sbin/init. It is not a replacement for /sbin/init. OpenRC is 100% compatible with Gentoo init scripts, which means you can probably find one for the daemons you want to start in...
a free system array created by Apple inc. For BSD - including macOS as macOS is based on the Darwin kernel of BSD
Launchd is the most popular Mac alternative to procd.
Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to monitor and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems.
The Sysvinit package contains programs for controlling the startup, running, and shutdown of the system.
The nosh package is a suite of system-level utilities for initializing and running a BSD or Linux system, and for managing daemons.
Finit is a small SysV init replacement with process supervision similar to that of daemontools and runit. Its focus is on small and embedded GNU/Linux systems, although fully functional on standard server and desktop installations.
Using the tooling in this repo, I am able to boot from linux to sinit as PID1, and from there to Emacs acting as PID2 using --script mode, performing all typical rc.boot system initialization using Emacs lisp until we hit the getty.
hummingbird is an init system designed for speed. It does nothing more than start the system and stop the system by default. There are three main "runlevels", fs which is called directly after the pseudo filesystems necessary for the system to run have been mounted...
