InitWare: A Lighter, More Modular, and Portable systemd Alternative
2025-04-03
InitWare is a lightweight service management suite aiming to be a systemd alternative. It boasts improved portability, modularity, and a clearly defined scope. Compatible with many systemd interfaces, it runs on NetBSD, GNU/Linux, and other modern BSD systems, functioning as both an init system and an auxiliary service manager. While all disclosed security concerns have been addressed, InitWare is still in alpha and should be used cautiously in production.
