Steve Litt:
####### RUN THE DAEMON #######
exec envuidgid slitt envdir ./env setuidgid slitt \
/d/at/python/littcron/littcron.py \
/d/at/python/littcron/crontab
Joel Rees:
man exec for clues to that, understand that littcron.py is Steve's
special cron (right, Steve?), and that he is setting up a special
environment for things and there's other stuff there that I can only
guess at, not having the code to littcron, I think. So I'll punt here.
You can go a little further. "man envuidgid", "man envdir", and "man
setuidgid" for the remaining clues. The Debian daemontools package has manual pages, derived from the
original WWW pages.

* http://untroubled.org/daemontools-encore/envdir.8.html
* http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/envdir.html
* http://untroubled.org/daemontools-encore/setuidgid.8.html
* http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/setuidgid.html
Both s6 and nosh have manual pages for these commands in the package, too.

* http://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-envdir.html
* http://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-setuidgid.html
You'll notice that whilst experimenting, M. Litt has ended up with a script
that has an unnecessary command in it. (-:
