Mod-boot is a program that acts as an LSB-compliant layer between a standard System V-compatible init daemon and the scripts that are run when switching runlevel. The primary goals are:
- To execute scripts asynchronously.
- To execute the fewest scripts possible needed to get to a desired goal script as set by the user.
- To simplify and standardize the boot and runlevel switch processes by allowing vendors to use their own scripts in a standardized way.
Currently, mod-boot is under heavy development, and there are no releases (yet).
mod-boot development is currently paused as the primary developer works on other projects, recalculates the need for it, and tries to catch up with stuff in real life.
