Re: Can s6 be enough?: was s6-ps

Eliminate dependency on udevd from oneshot startup scripts. One example among others: Kernel events are used to automatically load dynamic kernel modules. Say you need to mount a filesystem of a type that's not known in your core kernel, but you have a module for that. Either you manually

- The execline library is required to build a few of s6's utilities (typically: s6-ftrig-listen). - The execlineb binary is required for use of the !processor directive in s6-log. - Some of the other binaries provided by execline are used by s6 utilities, for instance s6-fdholder-store.

Everybody appreciates the preceding two features, but personally, I don't think they're absolutely necessary. Runit has neither, yet it works just fine for most things. It really depends on what "most things" are. Small, server-only appliances? sure. Distributions where you can start all the

nosh: User-space virtual terminal test and questions

Hello, So, I've gotten around to testing user-space VTs with nosh tools on Gentoo, as described in the nosh Guide. Mostly console-fb-realizer, but I also tested console-termio-realizer on a kernel VT for comparison. This was in a VirtualBox VM, so there were two framebuffer devices available: the

Laurent Bercot: I just wasn't aware of people besides me actually using s6-ps. :) I used it as an example of not being a mess. (-: s6 and s6-rc are actually ports/packages in FreeBSD and s6 is a package in Debian. Alas, the Debian world has not yet caught up with the other toolsets, and
