When I tried S6 about 8 months ago (and I knew a lot less then), I was unable to get it installed and running.
I already asked, and will ask again: please try it again. Since the last time you tried, there has been in particular: - the Christmas 2014 update, which has simplified installation a lot; the goal was precisely to make the software more accessible. - http://skarnet.org/software/s6/overview.html which I asked you to give me your opinion about but you never replied.
How would you describe the process manager (not init) daemontools-encore, to a technical person, in 300 words.
The first part of http://skarnet.org/software/s6/overview.html , "Process supervision / Concept", is more than 300 words, probably about 500 or 600, but it's more verbose than it needs to be, and I think it answers your question pretty well. The rest of the section is s6-specific, but if you remove the s6- prefixes from the command names, it can apply to daemontools as well. -- Laurent
