Hi, Christoph.
In the past it has been difficult to say anything specific about startup
that applies to a majority of popular Linux distributions.
I think we're still in that situation, but perhaps systemd could change
it. I know there are a few distros that do not use systemd, though.
I don't think you could go wrong in trying to create something helpful.

Hello,
for all the years I've been wondering how people persist their vblade
instances, i.e. have some exports that are automatically started at
bootup. Some hand-crafted shell scripts that call vbladed?
In the Debian project, there is a vblade-persist package which uses
runit, and the maintainer/upstream (Cc:'d) has expressed his
consideration of either giving it into other hands for major rework, or
just removing (RM) it entirely.[1]
Now I am thinking about going the rework way: Create a simple
configuration file format[2] for persistent vblade exports, and add
support for at least systemd (via generators) and sysv (probably using
the daemon[3] program as a supervisor).
Before re-inventing the wheel: Did I miss anything similar out there?
Is this something for the vblade package? I could do this within
Debian, but avoiding distribution-specific extensions was a plus.
