systemd 220 💾

systemd is a service and process manager for Linux, also used as init deamon. It introduces a service and dependency description scheme, but also supports SysV and LSB init scripts to some extend. It parallelizes activation, and socket / filesystem / D-Bus event handling. It provides complex process status tracking and control frontends, a distinct logging facility, requires custom network and mount configuration.

uselessd 8

uselessd is a systemd-208 fork optimized for less resource usage, a leaner DBUS ABI, fewer dependencies and BSD/Linux cross-platform compatibility. It reduces featuritis by constraining unit types and concentrating on system initialization and process supervision. In particular udev gets extracted to support alternative handlers, binary journald logging removed to allow established syslog services for early boot sequences. Some auxiliary reimplementations like systemd-fsck are transferred back t

XLennart 1.0

XLennart is an adaption of the well known XBill game. The virtual antagonists of this point-and-shoot game are running around sabotaging a working computer network to install a virus disguised as init system. The threat can be ended by squashing the intruders per mouse click, before all systems become inoperable. The game GUI requires Motif or Athena X11 libraries to be present, possibly also has an unneeded dependency on systemd.
