+      <p>The <tt>relaunchd</tt> project provides a service
+	management daemon that is similar to the original
+	<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launchd">launchd</a>
+	introduced in Apple OS X.</p>
+
+      <p>It is not limited to the original features of
+	<tt>launchd</tt>, however: interesting work is being done to add
+	support for launching programs in jails, passing socket
+	descriptors from the host to a jail, and launching programs within
+	a preconfigured <tt>capsicum(4)</tt> sandbox.  Additionally,
+	<tt>relaunchd</tt> uses UCL for its configuration files, so jobs
+	can be defined in JSON or other formats supported by UCL.</p>
+
+      <p>While there is still work to be done, most of the important
+	features of the original <tt>launchd</tt> have been implemented,
+	and <tt>relaunchd</tt> has been made available in the &os; Ports
+	Collection.  It should still be considered experimental and not
+	ready for production use, but everyone is welcome to try it,
+	report issues, and contribute code or ideas for improvement.</p>
