jobd

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Development of this project has been paused indefinitely. Current efforts are focused on reviving and improving the original relaunchd project instead.

Overview

jobd is an init system. It is currently under heavy development, and should not be used for anything important. Be especially mindful that there is NO WARRANTY provided with this software.

Status

jobd runs on the following platforms:

• FreeBSD
• Linux

See the release notes for details about the current release.

Building and installation

The basic commands to build and install the software are:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ..
    make
    sudo make install

Testing

There are two main test scripts:

• test/run.sh
• test/pid1.sh

The first script, test/run.sh, will build a copy of the software and run some tests. It is self-contained within test/obj and will not interfere with any other installation of the software.

The second test, test/pid1.sh, runs a FreeBSD image under Vagrant and configures the box to run jobd as pid #1.

Contact Information

There is a mailing list for questions, comments, or other feedback about the project.
