init8js v0.0.14

init8js

init8js is a unique system service manager.

It can run as PID 1 and has the following distinguishing features

• written entirely in Node.js
• supports dependency based parallel activation of services
• services can be shell scripts, daemons, or other Node.js files
• services and dependencies defined in YAML files
• almost all parameters can be controlled through the kernel cmdline
• can run as a regular user

It is especially suited for lightweight/embedded systems (tugger) or as the entrypoint to a container.
