Of course, all this could be avoided the LittKit way and just run a script depositing "down" files before running the supervisor. But the LittKit way specifically defies Laurent's proposal that PID1 be able to restart the supervisor (I think).
I don't know exactly how LittKit does things, but "depositing ./down files" is the way s6-rc proceeds internally. It does not go against the principle of the supervision tree being able to restart the service, because only services that are supposed to be down have a ./down file. The state where everything is down is temporary, at start; then the service manager removes ./down files one by one as it brings up the services. PID 1 being able to restart the supervisor is something else: it's the reason why I disagree with your choice of suckless init. -- Laurent
