OpenRC was actually what I tried before making this, but my experience with it is part of what resulted in the creation of Beginning. It wanted to be a modern replacement for sysvinit and such, but ended up taking a lot of sysvinit&#x27;s cruft and, in my opinion, ends up being too complex for what I wanted it for.<p>I&#x27;m not sure I agree with the comment about it being Bash-driven, though. I chose bash because it&#x27;s readily available and had been proven to work fine from what systems I studied (namely OpenBSD and Arch Linux&#x27;s initscripts). Being a modern replacement is not what I&#x27;m looking for, I just want to make something different that doesn&#x27;t needlessly complicate.
