1) Services in Runit *need* to have the daemon running in the foreground. This is a
*big* problem with some daemons that do not support being run in the foreground. They
could not be used with runit's service management.
almost all daemons have such a switch and if one does not then we can
add one - upstream will accept such a patch imho
2) Runit will respawn a service if it dies, no matter what. This can be good in some
cases, for example servers that cannot be monitored all the time - this is what the
feature was designed for. However, if you have foo service that for any reason is not
working, and just exits at startup, Runit will constantly be trying to restart it. This
can really bog down desktop systems. There is no system of "if it dies x times within y
minutes, give up for z minutes"
hm. init handles this in the following way: try to start 5 times, then
sleep for 5 mins (maybe the numbers are configurable)
if runit does not have such a feature, then i would suggest mail the
author if he likes such a feature or not. if yes, then we could request
this feature or create a patch for it then send it to the author
Done that already, they all consider it to be "bloat", which IMO is a
little idiotic
