Agreed, not joining the rethoric. Actually I don't care much about boot times, since in my case if the person restarts the device then it can well wait 2-5m and tell everyone in the house he/she is doing that. Of course this is a corner case to avoid, but people do that :^) and I even recommend doing it as part of basic troubleshooting in absence of sysadmin. What I'm particularly interested is something to do process monitoring and respawning for a certain group of daemons - bundle in s6-rc? however not necessarily mixed with the system-wide base daemons. For instance in Dowse's current proof-of-concept it happens (very seldom, once every 2 months, yet it does) that squid segfaults. I wish to have something that is not a lousy shell-script (and of course not a monster of office-suite dimensions taking over the whole setup) to notice the crash, save the logs aside and restart the daemon - and fast. Even when we start rewriting the whole POC to an application, I'd love to have this as a safety net, because certain bugs are really hard to reproduce and in the meantime one needs to have the box circumvent them or even adapt to them by changing its own configuration. It has been since the times of Icecast1 (pre-kh) that I need something like that, been using restartd for a quick setup, but it does not handle dependencies.. now wondering if s6-rc does it. In general I'd be incline to use s6 more because the whole suite Laurent is developing seems very minimal and... no-bullshit (Gandi's tm) ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
