vera is an alternative init daemon supervisor (PID 1) that uses containers.
Containers allow reliable, foolproof shutdown and termination of started
services. vera was developed on Slackware 15.0. It is capable of booting and
shutting down a stock installation of Slackware 15.

Each service started from rc.inet2 now gets started in its own individual
container. All services that now get started by rc.M are now running in
their own individual containers.

Reduced file descriptor usage: each container no longer needs to keep an
additional open file descriptor for its cgroup.events, just a pair of pipes
to capture its processes stdout and stderr that get redirected to syslog.

A manual container's start/stop/reload/restart also mirrors the container's
stdout and stderr to the terminal console, for the duration of the
operation. This emulates running the rc script the "old-fashioned" way, when
it's actually running in a container.

Time is an illusion perpetrated by the manufacturers of space.
