[gentoo-server] initng and runscript

[Andrea Carpani]

Hi all,

I'm looking around for alternatives to runscript style init scripts as I
don't like very much default gentoo scripts. While I do like the
depencencies stuff I still don't get why a "status" on a script gives
"started" if the process died badly, or why I need to manually do a zap
(can't restart do it for me?).

I think status should be implemented in each init script and should give
the real status of the service be it a ps|grep or whatever.

One more thing I'd like to see is a init controlled check on the death
of some daemons (sort of what daemontools does).

This is why I'm asking: has anyone here seriously tested/used initng new
scripts? 

Thanks.
