[Cialug] Ubuntu's New Init

[Jerry Heiselman]

This sounds very similar to what Apple did for Mac OS X 10.4.  They replaced
init, cron and at with launchd.  It has an XML-based configuration syntax.
It works pretty well, but I must admit that there are some parts of it that
are more like magic to me.

I think the idea of replacing all these parts is a good idea.  A general
purpose scheduler seems to provide the best in system performance and
consolidates a bunch of code that really should have been done together a
long time ago.
