Epoch is an init system (analogous to systemd or upstart) for Linux by Subsentient. It is intended as a lightweight solution for lightweight distributions that don't want a huge mess just to boot up. It has one unified configuration file, is very small in size, and it has no external dependencies besides glibc or similar, and although installing a shell for /bin/sh is strongly recommended.
