<p>The nosh project is a suite of system-level utilities for
|
||||
initializing, running, and shutting down BSD systems; and for
|
||||
managing daemons, terminals, and logging. It attempts to
|
||||
supersede BSD <tt>init</tt>, the Mewburn <tt>rc.d</tt> system,
|
||||
and OpenRC as used on &os; and TrueOS, drawing inspiration
|
||||
from Solaris SMF for named milestones, daemontools-encore for
|
||||
service control/status mechanisms, UCSPI, and IBM AIX for
|
||||
separated service and system management. It comprises a range
|
||||
of compatibility mechanisms, including shims for familiar
|
||||
commands from other systems, and an automatic import mechanism
|
||||
that takes existing configuration data from
|
||||
<tt>/etc/fstab</tt>, <tt>/etc/rc.conf{,.local}</tt>,
|
||||
<tt>/etc/ttys</tt>, and elsewhere, applying them to its native
|
||||
service definitions and creating additional native services.
|
||||
It is portable (including to Linux) and composable, it
|
||||
provides a migration path from the world of systemd Linux, and
|
||||
it does not require new kernel APIs. It provides clean
|
||||
service environments, orderings and dependencies between
|
||||
services, parallelized startup and shutdown (including
|
||||
<tt>fsck</tt>), strictly size-capped and autorotated logging,
|
||||
the service manager as a "subreaper", and uses
|
||||
<tt>kevent(2)</tt> for event-driven parallelism.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since the last status report, in December 2015, the project
|
||||
has seen: restructured and finer-grained packaging that has
|
||||
fewer conflicts with other toolsets; the addition of
|
||||
<tt>zsh</tt> completion files; improvements to the vertual
|
||||
terminal subsystem, keyboard map, mouse support, and ugen and
|
||||
DECSCUSR support; RFC 5424/5426 remote logging support;
|
||||
replacement of the libkqueue and the C library's environment
|
||||
handling functions; several new helper commands; support for
|
||||
Java VM autolocation; improved socket-passing code; an
|
||||
extended status API and "one-shot" service support;
|
||||
additional pre-supplied service bundles; support for service
|
||||
aliases; improved handling of per-user D-Bus services;
|
||||
improved import of MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, and OpenVPN
|
||||
services; improved configuration import support; and extensive
|
||||
additions to the <tt>nosh</tt> Guide.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>On the recently updated roadmap you can see plans for even
|
||||
more documentation, continuing the work to extend the
|
||||
capabilities of the networking subsystem, and the scant
|
||||
handful of <tt>rc.d</tt>-related items remaining. There are
|
||||
also some ideas still in the speculative or planning phases,
|
||||
including work that may depend on incorporating <tt>nosh</tt>
|
||||
support into other software.</p>
