6 wow, minit is really cool.... from the docs page:
7
8 "Minit puts all its configuration-files into /etc/minit by default, but
9 you can change that very easy. Minit brings two companion utilities
10 with it: msvc and pidfilehack. msvc can start and stop processes just
11 like svc from the daemontools. pidfilehack can be used to run daemons
12 like ssh, read the PID and tell minit this PID so minit will know when
13 sshd exits and can restart it."
14
15 looks like everything we need is already taken care of with minit...
16
17 * special config info for each service can be set
18 * dependancies
19 * specific CLI switches(parameters) for each service
20 * tracking of run away services(go find th pid!)
21 * logging
22
23 I've got some things that I've been working with, and I figure adding
24 minit would be a good little test. I'll post my results in the next
25 couple of days.
