For all BSD ports:
-
Support advanced process tracking by using the Proc filter for Kernel Queues.- mostly done Make slices and scopes use the Proc filter, too. This adds one half of the CGroups functionality - the tracking of processes.-
A tool to convert Mewburn RC scripts to unitfiles.- implemented in a basic way.- OpenBSD uses its own system and would probably need its own tool, as it doesn't have things like the
REQUIRE/PROVIDE/BEFOREdirectives of Mewburn RC. - The remaining BSDs should hopefully be similar enough that this is no issue.
- OpenBSD uses its own system and would probably need its own tool, as it doesn't have things like the
For NetBSD:
-
.deviceunits using thedrvctl(8)API.-
/dev/drvctlis root-only access, so for this, we ought either to implement the subset of the Udev interface used by the manager, or to implement a simple daemon which lets anyone subscribe to events fromdrvctl, and lets anyone iterate over the devices.
-
For FreeBSD:
- Let slices jail their member processes (possibly - need to investigate how hierarchical jails work.)
In general:
-
Decouple system manager mode from its intricate dependencies on Linux; ideally, make it possible to run some other program to do stage-1 initialisation of the lowest level before- basically done, but shutdown/sleep needs fixing.exec()'ing InitWare. - Split out System V compatibility into a generator.
- Generally slim down the manager binary, e.g. by exporting parsing functionality elsewhere.
- Allow unit types to be implemented by external processes, e.g. by exporting the unit v-table (or something like it) over the D-Bus.
- Port to Illumos? EPoll and friends are available now. Only operation in user manager mode need be supported; SMF is already the gold standard for system management.
