The relaunchd project provides a service + management daemon that is similar to the original + launchd + introduced in Apple OS X.

+ +

It is not limited to the original features of + launchd, however: interesting work is being done to add + support for launching programs in jails, passing socket + descriptors from the host to a jail, and launching programs within + a preconfigured capsicum(4) sandbox. Additionally, + relaunchd uses UCL for its configuration files, so jobs + can be defined in JSON or other formats supported by UCL.

+ +

While there is still work to be done, most of the important + features of the original launchd have been implemented, + and relaunchd has been made available in the &os; Ports + Collection. It should still be considered experimental and not + ready for production use, but everyone is welcome to try it, + report issues, and contribute code or ideas for improvement.

+ + + + +

Add support for restarting jobs if they crash.

+ + + +

Implement the cron(8) emulation feature.

+ + + +

Add support for monitoring files and directories for + changes, and launching jobs when changes are detected.

+ + + +

Finish things that are incomplete, such as support for + jails and passing open socket descriptors to child processes.

+ + + +

Improve the documentation and providing more examples of + how to use it.
