procd Alternatives

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 eight alternatives to procd for a variety of platforms, including Linux, BSD, TrueOS, FreeBSD 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, sysvinit and Supervisor.

    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...

    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.
