Oh really ? I didn't think devuan was well-known enough for it to have an impact on a design choice like this. Well no other of the 69 scripts I have in /etc/init.d use daemonize. Most of them use /sbin/start-stop-daemon, although the point of running Devuan was to have runit, but it's so well hidden you wouldn't know it's PID 1 here… which is the main reason why I'm giving up on Devuan, I came for my favourite, easy to use, init system, not for some compat-bloat over it that end up hiding the best feature. So if this script is only for Devuan, I think a proper runit daemon may be better. Regards, Tissevert
