http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/Softwares/nosh.html Following is excerpt from its homepage, modified for brevity: The nosh package is a suite of system-level utilities for initializing and running a BSD or Linux system, and for managing daemons. It is originally intended for use on BSDs, and to fill the gaps where BSD users, Hurd users, and others don't have the option, for whatever reason, of launchd, systemd, or upstart, and want more than what other daemontools-family systems provide, including inter-service dependencies, LSB-like/Solaris-like boot targets/milestones, and a migration path from systemd units for things coming from the GNU/Linux world. Parallel startup, per-service logging and socket activation are also supported. Built around that is a full service and system management mechanism, with parallelized service startup/shutdown, service interdependencies and startup/shutdown orderings, and an extensible system target mechanism. In support of it, the package comes with an extensive suite of tools for creating common run scripts (one of them converting systemd units!). Its fundamental daemon management mechanism is a superset of Bernstein's daemontools mechanism. The design is similar with daemontools-encore, runit, s6 and perp as well. nosh is largely compaible with daemontools, daemontools-encore, runit and s6; it is "more roughly compatible with" perp. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. % eix nosh 2. % eix -S nosh Actual Results: 1. No matches found. 2. No matches found. Expected Results: (Package info for nosh). daemontools, daemontools-encore and runit are in sys-process, while s6 is in sys-apps, so I am not sure about the category.
