nixpkgs/modules/tasks/swap.nix
Eelco Dolstra fc9111fadf * Move various system initialisation tasks (e.g. mounting filesystems,
initialising network interfaces, etc.) to modules/tasks.  This
  follows the Upstart terminology: a service is a job that doesn't
  usually terminate (e.g. a daemon), while a task is a job that does
  some work and then exits.
