How to implement or use

See the projects listed below for details on different methods of doing this.

Expected Improvement

[Not determined yet.]

Resources

Projects

• InitNG: a new replacement for SysV init. Boots your system much faster by running as much as possible asynchronously. See

• IBM article on on using Makefile techniques to express dependencies between services and support parallel service start. See

  http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html?ca=dgr-lnxw04BootFaster

• Richard Gooch project to rewrite boot script system from scratch. Eliminates lots of BSD and SYS V-isms, and introduces dependencies. See

• Serel project - for parallelizing service startup. Commands are inserted into RC scripts to cause needed services to start (based on XML database of dependencies).

Specifications

• LSB specification for comments in RC Scripts which allow parallization. See
