Hi! I would like to ask if runsvdir could by default be defined as a subreaper on Linux. If it is already a PID 1, then there is no difference, but sometimes it is not. In that case when an orphan process happens under it, then it would be re-parented under the runsvdir, mimicking the behavior when runsvdir runs as a PID 1.
runit is often used in Docker containers and sometimes you have a wrapper script which spawns runsvdir as a child. In that case runsvdir does not run as PID 1. I have found a similar patch for Debian, but which requested this feature on runsv. I think that might be misused for making process who demonize in fact stay under runsv. Or maybe that is a future feature of runit, not sure, but that can be discussion for some other thread. I would like to ask that something similar to that patch is done for runsvdir for now: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833048 This would really make it easier to use runit inside Docker.
