1 Hey
2
3 some questions. If i want to install qmail and some other tools like
4 djbdns on a new server, why i need these daemontools? OK, nice piece of
5 software but i don't like to handle with to concurrent systems to
6 control which process will be started while system boot.

8 Please,could you explain what the current init-sheme of gentoo does? It
9 seems to copy files to the dynamic ramdisk and controls process with
10 links and files in this memory. Right? This sounds nice, but what is the
11 reason for daemontools. Daemontools have a nice function to restart
12 killed processes. Is this features currently supported by gentoo's
13 init-concept?
14
15 Minit (http://www.fefe.de/minit/) from Felix von Leitner seems also be a
16 good candidat for this work. A small init with dependecy support and
17 restart of killed-processes-function.

19 Thanks in advance
