yarfi
Yet Another Replacement For Init - writtten in Python
Yes, that's the short description.
The goal behind yarfi is simple: providing an easy to use init system. This simplicity should be achieved by simplicity. ;-) The code that powers yarfi is very short und fairly focused on doing what it needs to do. (It doesn't heat coffee.)
Enjoy!
For more information on how to install and configure yarfi please see the wiki.
