Hi all, I just finished coding, but not documenting, LittKit, a group of shellscripts to provide syntactic sugar for using "down" files to easily order startup of daemontools-like software. I tested it with damontools-encore on Plop Linux, where it seems to work perfectly.
LittKit also includes lt_forever, which makes a service work sort of like a run-once, because it sleep-loops forever. Most daemontools-inspired softare, including daemontools-encore, have explicit run-once mechanisms, but daemontools doesn't, so I put it in. It's pretty simple stuff, so I think the included README file is sufficient. It's Expat-licensed free software you can download at: http://troubleshooters.com/projects/littkit/downloads/littkit_0_90.tgz If you need explicit ordering of the simpler daemontools-like software, this might be an easy way to do it.
