Folks,
Since we are discussing a new init replacement, I think
we should consider a good API for it too, so that it services
can be controlled programmatically. At the very least, we
need to be able to:
* start/stop/reload/restart a service
* query its status
* wait for a service to start/stop
* a way for services to interact with the administrators
(for example to ask for passphrases, etc.)
* a way to signal problems (probably D-BUS bases)
I know this is blasphemy, but how about we start (at least
for inspiration) with the Services API from Win32:

For more info about Win32 services:

At the very least looking at other APIs will tell us:
* what we need to cover
* what we should avoid
What other APIs are out there? Does Sun have one?
