+ </links>
+
+ <body>
+ <p>There are three active projects to provide an alternative
+ to the traditional <tt>init(8)</tt> and <tt>rc(8)</tt> subsystems
+ that manage the boot process and system services. There are a
+ number of reasons driving the desire for change, including:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Faster boot times, made possible by launching services
+ in parallel</li>
+
+ <li>Greater reliability, by ensuring that services are
+ automatically restarted if they terminate unexpectedly</li>
+
+ <li>Simplified dependency management, using socket
+ activation and similar techniques</li>
+
+ <li>The ability to launch services "on demand",
+ and have them self-terminate when idle</li>
+
+ <li>Improved security, by removing the need to start common
+ daemons as the root user</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p> Two of the projects, <tt>launchd</tt> and
+ <tt>relaunchd</tt>, are based on the <tt>launchd(8)</tt> API
+ introduced by Apple in Mac OS X. The NextBSD project has ported
+ the original Apple source code by writing a Mach compatibility
+ layer that allows <tt>launchd</tt> to run on &os;. The
+ <tt>relaunchd</tt> project started from scratch with the goal of
+ creating a more modular, lightweight, and portable implementation
+ of the <tt>launchd</tt> API. The third project, <tt>nosh</tt>, is
+ a unique creation that borrows concepts from <tt>launchd</tt>,
+ <tt>systemd</tt>, and several other Unix operating systems.</p>
+
+ <p>While the &os; Project has not made a decision to replace
+ the current <tt>init(8)</tt> and <tt>rc(8)</tt> subsystems, the
+ existence and active development of alternatives will continue to
+ drive innovation in this space.</p>
+
+ <p>Jordan Hubbard is the contact point for the NextBSD
+ <tt>launchd</tt>, Jonathan de Boyne Pollard is the contact point
+ for <tt>nosh</tt>, and Mark Heily is the contact point for
+ <tt>relaunchd</tt>.</p>
