I started looking at how to configure daemons/services on
OpenBSD
and FreeBSD and am a little surprised at what I found. As far as
I
can tell, OpenBSD's rc assumes that services will background
themselves and does no supervision at all. It seems like
FreeBSD's
daemon(8) has some supervision capabilities with the -r flag,
but
it is unclear to me how widely used that is.
Given the apparently poor state of supervision, I'm considering
using s6 when I configure this system.
i run two OpenBSD servers, one of which i'd be happy to do some
s6-related tinkering on, so i'm following this discussion with
interest. :-)
