One system has, at last count, over 600 provided service bundles in a Debian package. (It's somewhere around 670 in the development version.) These range from "accounting" through "keepalived" and "swift@container-auditor" to "ypbind".

One can also pull in other people's run program collections, of which the world has several.

And there's a handy tool for what's left.

Note, for the sake of completeness, that van Smoorenburg rc scripts changed format on Debian back in 2014. Most of the boilerplate has been eliminated, and writing them is a lot closer to how would would write a Mewburn rc script on FreeBSD/NetBSD or an OpenRC script.

Sorry but a slightly better script based init system maintained by one person just isn't gonna cut it.


It is fortunate, then, that neither of the ones that I referenced are that. The several run program collections are, as we can see, provided by a range of different people from Wayne Marshall to Glenn Strauss; and van Smoorenburg rc on Debian is maintained by several people, including Petter Reinholdtsen who introduced the aforementioned 2014 change.
