<p>FreeBSD's jail(8) facility provides lightweight operating system
virtualization; with the addition of experimental virtual network
stacks, ISPs are able to efficiently host thousands of FreeBSD
instances on a single machine. This task improves FreeBSD's
userspace management of jails by introducing jailinit(8), an
enhancement to the init(8) utility responsible for starting up and
shutting down the operating system. Currently, jails are started
by executing their /etc/rc script directly using jail(8); in the
proposed new world order, init(8) would have a jail start mode,
and would continue running throughout the lifetime of the jail to
manage services and eventually shut down the jail. This might
require minor kernel changes in order to let jailinit perform some
of the same functions for jails as it does for normal userspace.
jailinit could also be responsible for setting up and managing
console logging, launching tty-attached services such as getty
within a jail, and other jail properties.</p>
