The Epoch Init System http://universe2.us/epoch.html
Epoch is a single-threaded init system for Linux 2.6+, designed to be useful yet small and unintrusive. It uses a declarative configuration style. It has no dependencies whatsoever other than glibc, and /bin/sh is strongly recommended but can be disabled with --disable-shell. It supports process supervision, service status, autorestarting, stderr/stdout redirection, user/group setting, and much more. For instructions on creating a configuration file for Epoch, please visit http://universe2.us/epochconfig.html. Additional information is available at http://universe2.us/epoch.html
