AFAIUI OS X has launchd, and Solaris has OMF[1]?
... so basically the BSDs are the ones left behind?
[1] I think that is the acronym for Solaris' XML-based standardized system service files? (I don't care that they're XML. It care that they're standardized.)
- solarengineer 11y agoSolaris 10 and 11 have SMF
- lomnakkus 11y agoAh, SMF, that was it! Thanks
- JdeBP 11y agoThinking that the BSDs have been left behind is to erroneously presume that the BSDs ran System 5 rc in the first place. They did not. Most of them use Mewburn rc (or their own reinvented version thereof), which was invented almost a decade after van Smoorenburg rc, which itself was invented about half a decade after System 5 rc. Here's a "portable" script for van Smoorenburg rc that ports to 4 Linux families, complete with the sort of case statements that I described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10357589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10357589 : * http://conman.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/etc/conman.init.in http://conman.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/etc/conman.init.in Here's a Mewburn rc script: * http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/etc/rc.d/devpubd http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/etc/rc.d/...
