I've never tried runit, but being an initng dev, I'm expected to be somewhat biased.
Having just had a quick look at runit, it appears we have the larger collection of init scripts, however being simple bash scripts it could be expected that runit's are slightly easier to make. The real advantage that initng posesses are, unless runit's website is simply failing to mention it, auto-restarting of failed daemons, virtual dependencies, and clever multi-distro compatible scripts that use a preprocessor at install time (see the #ifd / #elsed / #endd statements in a file like http://svn.initng.org/initng-ifiles/trunk/initfiles/system/modules.ii). I've never tried RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP, haven't used sysvinit at all in 9 months. -- Thomas Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED] +6421996486 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
