All, I have been working on the version bump for sys-process/runit [1].
Service directories will be stored in /etc/sv; think of this as being like /etc/init.d. Once this is done, there are two suggested ways of linking to the service directories you want to monitor. The first is to make a directory, /etc/service, which contains symlinks to all of the services you want to monitor. The second way is to build a structure under /etc/runit/runsvdir that contains multiple runlevels and link /etc/service to that structure [2]. All of this is completely reconfigurable by the user; I'm just wondering what the default should be. We are using method 2 currently, but with only one runlevel by default, so my thought is we should go to method one by default and point people to the documentation if they want to change it. Another reason I am suggesting method one by default is it will make things easier if people want to run runit as a supervisor under another init system. Does anyone have any comments on that approach? Thanks, William [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522786 [2] http://www.smarden.org/runit/runlevels.html
