AFAIU, this thread has turned to be about interfacing whatever app to a scripting language. I consider this a very usefull feature for all but basic applications.

init is the pinnacle of a "basic application". It's not even an application, it's a system program. There is NO reason why you'd want to interface init to a scripting language - what are you trying to accomplish that can't be accomplished outside of process 1 ? "init freedom", whatever that means, is a political goal, and has to be reached with political tools. Trying to use technical tools to reach a political goal is not a good idea; it usually produces bad software and ends up being unsatisfying for everyone. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
