Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : freedt Version : 0.21 Upstream Author : Adam Sampson * URL : http://offog.org/code/freedt.html * License : GPL Description : a reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the GNU GPL
It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir, envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan, svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service directories), anonidentd (an anonymising identd implementation) and ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a brief rundown of the options. Please note that this package is not a drop-in replacement for daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't quite the same. You can replace daemontools with freedt, but you'll need to remove the state files by hand when doing so (and check carefully that everything works afterwards!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
