I have created bugs 28938, 28940, 28941, 28943 and 28945 to add daemontools support |
| 2 |
to the init scripts for samba, xinetd, fcron, cupsd and syslog-ng. Feel free to try |
| 3 |
it and see what you think. |

I discuss my approach in bug 28294. To summarise: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1. daemontools is not required but can optionally be used if available. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
2. The daemontools service directory for each daemon is located in /var/daemontools |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
3. This method has flexibility in that a user can choose to start each daemon in |
| 12 |
one of 3 different ways. The existing method (usually start-stop-daemon) in an init |
| 13 |
script, supervise from an init script, or svscan by creating a link to /var/daemontools/$name |
| 14 |
at /service/$name. Running supervise from the init script has the advantages of both |
| 15 |
init dependancy support and daemon monitoring. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
4. No daemontools USE flag is required using this method. |
