Runner

Runner is a utility for launching programs under GoboLinux that ensures that the filesystem view of a process will match its dependencies. In other words, Runner eliminates the possibility of library conflicts when running an executable.

Runner is a filesystem virtualization tool that sets up a constrained view of /System/Index for a process based on the executable program’s Dependencies file. It is run as a wrapper, e.g. Runner SomeApp.

Runner builds a custom mount table for the process, like container tools do, but without duplicating files. It dynamically picks the correct parts of your /Programs tree. This approach is feasible in GoboLinux due to way programs are each confined to their own subdirectories.
