What is jumpstart FOR LINUX?

Jumpstart Project

The Jumpstart Project is a cool performance hack designed for Linux/x86. It helps run applications with shared libraries already loaded, which speeds things up. Here’s how it works: the executable file starts and then pauses after the runtime loader has mapped the shared libraries but before any application code kicks in. Pretty neat, right?

How Does Jumpstart Work?

After that initial pause, the process becomes like a little server. It reads command line arguments and environment variables through a named pipe and executes tasks in a fork()ed child process. This means it can handle multiple tasks without getting all tangled up.

What’s New in This Release?

This latest version of Jumpstart has some exciting updates! It now propagates file attributes and keeps track of where stdin, stdout, and stderr are positioned. That makes your life easier when using this software.
