Finit — A fast plugin-based /sbin/init with service monitoring
Finit | Fast Init Replacement
==============================================================================
Welcome to finit!
Finit is an extremely fast /sbin/init replacement focusing on small and
embedded GNU/Linux systems. It is the continuation of the original
finit by `Claudio Matsuoka`_ which was reverse engineered from syscalls
of the EeePC fastinit_ daemon -- gaps filled with frog DNA ...
This is an extremely fast /sbin/init replacement with focus on small
embedded GNU/Linux systems. Based on Claudio Matsuoka's original finit_
with I/O, service and hook plugin extensions. The original was a
reimplementation of the EeePC fastinit_ daemon based on its system calls
with gaps filled with frog DNA.
This modern finit has extensions for service monitoring, multiple TTYs,
one-shot tasks, runlevels and plugins for I/O monitoring, service
callbacks and various hooks to extend and adapt it to your needs.
In the world of finit we write C plugins that hook into and extend the
``main()`` loop of ``/sbin/init``, this is what gives the system its raw
performance and the user full control.
If you chose finit you know what you want, a fast no hassles boot!
Finit restores the raw performance of your system and gives you full
control of the ``main()`` loop of ``/sbin/init``!
