Thanks Karl, Some questions: 1) Does Busybox init require the daemon to background itself? 2) Does Busybox init give you a reasonable way to automatically restart the process after the process terminates? 3) Does Busybox init give you the choice of auto-restart or not for each different process? If it does, that's something specifically missing in Runit. Thanks, SteveT ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Steve Litt: ... > * Runit > * S6 ... Why not busybox init, it handles gettys and the rest is up to /etc/rcS, which you are free to make it do whatever you like. As a direct replacement for sysv init, you can use for i in /etc/rcS.d/S* /etc/rc2.d/S* do $i start done in rcS and similar for shutdown.
