Is this going to be based on / similar to anything existing, or something new entirely? So far, everything you've said is sounding a *lot* like the redone services stuff in Solaris 10. The main difference would just be the use of D-BUS for communication rather than the Solaris-specific stuff SMF uses (svc.startd, mainly).... See <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o5n0?a=view> for an overview of svcs, svcadm, svccfg, etc As an added benefit, the architecture Sun has for all this really has drastically reduced boot times (which I know is always a complaint people seem to have on Linux for some reason). Solaris 9 -> Solaris 10 went from ~3 minutes to ~25 seconds to boot (from the OBP to login prompt) on one of my workstations, for example later, chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
