People who are interested in learning *why* a conventional init is so impractical to use, and why solutions such as runsvdir feel so right, would likely benefit from reading the following document: http://www.skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-svscan-1.html (s6-svscan, documented in another page on the same site, performs the same role as runsvdir, but can also be run directly as process 1.) -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
