Yes, I looked into runit once and I do appreciate the work of the developers very much. But because it looked like work ;-) to migrate everything, (I can't really comment on that much since I got to one crash after which I restored sysvinit) I decided to wait for a debian package which not only installs runit or initng but migrates the services as well. And I am very pleased to see that there is a need for such a package so it is quite likely we are going to see something like this sometime soon. ;-) Nikolai -- "1984" is not a howto! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
