If you're looking for _reliable_ alternative for runscript style init scripts, |
| 20 |
then you should look into 'runit' package. Runit is improved version of DJB's |
| 21 |
'daemontools' package. I use it many years without any problems. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Check websites of daemontools and runit for all gore details why it's only |
| 24 |
_reliable_ way to control services. |
