2. DJB Daemontools: http://thedjbway.org/daemontools.html

Anyway, I dimly remembered this and dug into the DJB docs. Some will
wonder why I found it easier to read a DJB doc than to read how to
write a rc.d script... An excellent question, but in 5 minutes, I had
my rubycas-server running under daemontools. It is that easy. I still
don't know how to write an rc.d script, but I have to believe it
would take me more than 5 minutes to learn and write. If you have
daemons running, that you started manually from the command line, and
are just hoping you'll remember to re-start them the next time you
reboot, you should really check out daemontools...
Much better than putting a reminder in your MOD (Me??? I would never
do that!!!)
John, I have tried to convert linux startups scripts over to rc.d scripts for
some of my ports. Frankly, it's easier to start from scratch. In some cases
it's barely possible at all, especially when the software was written for Linux
with no consideration at all for other unix platforms. This particular tip
will save a lot of people a lot of grief, I can assure you.
Thanks for sharing it.
