Hi,
All right. What is the current status? Have other people tried runit? Has
anybody found any shortcomings?
I tried runit like three years ago or so. But I decided on minit then.
I didn't like the runit approach of having one monitor process per
service, it makes ps output and such a lot bigger than necessary IMHO.
IIRC one of the big benefits of having pid 1 do the monitoring is that
pid 1 will also receive SIGCHLD for "detached" processes. Like apache.
So when apache terminates, pid 1 will immedeately know, whereas a
separate monitoring process has to poll.
(Note that other daemons, which can be configured to not detach, don't
need this)
best regards,
Erich Schubert
