wow, minit is really cool.... from the docs page: 

"Minit puts all its configuration-files into /etc/minit by default, but
you can change that very easy. Minit brings two companion utilities
with it: msvc and pidfilehack. msvc can start and stop processes just
like svc from the daemontools. pidfilehack can be used to run daemons
like ssh, read the PID and tell minit this PID so minit will know when
sshd exits and can restart it."

looks like everything we need is already taken care of with minit...

* special config info for each service can be set
* dependancies
* specific CLI switches(parameters) for each service
* tracking of run away services(go find th pid!)
* logging

I've got some things that I've been working with, and I figure adding
minit would be a good little test.  I'll post my results in the next
couple of days.
