What start stop mechanics do you mean?

OpenRC already has full FreeBSD jail support in services like do
depend() { keyword nojail; }

That effectively disables the automatic running of services by rc itself,
such as fsck, mounting and stuff as that's taken care of by the host OS.
Running in Prefix is pretty much the same as a jail from OpenRC's
perspective
(correct me if I'm wrong) so all we would have to do is tell OpenRC that
it's
currently in a jail. Presently this is done only for FreeBSD by testing
sysctl values. Maybe we could turn this into a compile option for Prefix.

Also, we now support services in directories other than /etc/init.d,
although
this is currently hard coded to /usr/local/etc/init.d.

Thanks

Roy
