Description-en: Fast init for Linux systems
Finit is a simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, reverse engineered from
the EeePC fastinit ten years ago by Claudio Matsuoka - "gaps filled with frog
DNA ..."
.
Finit supports runlevels, process monitoring, and starting services on demand
using the built-in inetd, or by triggering a condition. E.g., "don't start this
service until basic networking is available", or "wait until syslogd has
started".
