So how is this a init system. It is only a way to Manage UNIX<br>
Services. Quote from the home page.<br>
<br>
"What is it?<br>
<br>
daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services.<br>
<br>
supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the<br>
service if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise<br>
needs is a directory with a run script that runs the service.<br>
<br>
multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally<br>
timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines<br>
matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit<br>
the amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and<br>
tries again, without losing any data."<br>
