The requirement for deamons not to background is so that the process manager: 1, will get a SIGCHLD when the process terminates instead of scanning running processes or log files 2, don't need a pid file to find the process for the purpose of terminating it or something else 3, will get log output from a file descriptor instead of scanning syslog possible other things... Depending of your own requirements, that might be important or not. > > 2) Does Busybox init give you a reasonable way to automatically restart the > > process > > after the process terminates? > > > > 3) Does Busybox init give you the choice of auto-restart or not for each > > different > > process? If it does, that's something specifically missing in Runit. ... > TL;DR: just install better daemons ;) ACK. But you have to write them also, what others write is usually out of your hands.
