Hello, I have working "simpleinit-msb" and "minit" packages on my system. (simpleinit-msb is an extended simpleinit, see http://www.winterdrache.de/linux/newboot/) and "minit" has nice monitoring capabilities and is similar to daemontools, but GPL (http://www.fefe.de/minit/)
The initscripts for the packages need a lot of fiddling, but i think i have a reasonable example set ready. I'd like to have support for linux-progress-patch, too, if you design a complete new init system. (I'm interested in that, too... i had intended to work at this in DebCamp, but i probably won't come to DebConf now. ) Greetings, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ Go away or i'll replace you with a very small shell script. //\ Jemanden zu lieben heißt glücklich zu sein, ihn glücklich zu sehen.
