----
|

|

Finit in itself is not SysV Init compatible, it doesn't use `/etc/rc.d`
|
||||
and `/etc/inet.d` scripts to boot the system. However, a plausible way
|
||||
to achieve compatibility would be to add a plugin to finit which reads
|
||||
`/etc/inittab` and starts standard Linux systems.

- Supervise processes,

- CPU loadavg,
|

- Watch for file descriptor leaks,
