+ <body>
+ <p>The nosh project is a suite of system-level utilities for
+ initializing, running, and shutting down BSD systems; and for
+ managing daemons, terminals, and logging. It attempts to
+ supersede BSD <tt>init</tt>, the Mewburn <tt>rc.d</tt> system,
+ and OpenRC as used on &os; and TrueOS, drawing inspiration
+ from Solaris SMF for named milestones, daemontools-encore for
+ service control/status mechanisms, UCSPI, and IBM AIX for
+ separated service and system management. It comprises a range
+ of compatibility mechanisms, including shims for familiar
+ commands from other systems, and an automatic import mechanism
+ that takes existing configuration data from
+ <tt>/etc/fstab</tt>, <tt>/etc/rc.conf{,.local}</tt>,
+ <tt>/etc/ttys</tt>, and elsewhere, applying them to its native
+ service definitions and creating additional native services.
+ It is portable (including to Linux) and composable, it
+ provides a migration path from the world of systemd Linux, and
+ it does not require new kernel APIs. It provides clean
+ service environments, orderings and dependencies between
+ services, parallelized startup and shutdown (including
+ <tt>fsck</tt>), strictly size-capped and autorotated logging,
+ the service manager as a "subreaper", and uses
+ <tt>kevent(2)</tt> for event-driven parallelism.</p>
+
+ <p>Since the last status report, in December 2015, the project
+ has seen: restructured and finer-grained packaging that has
+ fewer conflicts with other toolsets; the addition of
+ <tt>zsh</tt> completion files; improvements to the vertual
+ terminal subsystem, keyboard map, mouse support, and ugen and
+ DECSCUSR support; RFC 5424/5426 remote logging support;
+ replacement of the libkqueue and the C library's environment
+ handling functions; several new helper commands; support for
+ Java VM autolocation; improved socket-passing code; an
+ extended status API and "one-shot" service support;
+ additional pre-supplied service bundles; support for service
+ aliases; improved handling of per-user D-Bus services;
+ improved import of MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, and OpenVPN
+ services; improved configuration import support; and extensive
+ additions to the <tt>nosh</tt> Guide.</p>
+
+ <p>On the recently updated roadmap you can see plans for even
+ more documentation, continuing the work to extend the
+ capabilities of the networking subsystem, and the scant
+ handful of <tt>rc.d</tt>-related items remaining. There are
+ also some ideas still in the speculative or planning phases,
+ including work that may depend on incorporating <tt>nosh</tt>
+ support into other software.</p>
