Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
it'd be nice (for example during upgrades) if "/etc/init.d/gdm reload" could
be made to work even if gdm is run supervised and /etc/init.d/gdm is a
symlink to /usr/bin/sv.
Arbitrary commands could be supported, provided the administrator supplied
the appropriate action script. If these scripts could affect the output of
sv(8), that would be wonderful, but probably hard to do in a robust way.
Quite a few initscripts support numerous commands in addition to the
standard start/stop/force-*, and replacing them with runit's sv would be a
lot less painful if these could be supported transparently.
I realize there is a difficulty with the one-character control fifo
protocol, but I think there are several ways around that (for example, a new
fifo could be used for the custom commands; that way, backward compatibility
with daemontools could be retained).
Regards,
Andras
