runit-run | a UNIX init scheme with service supervision | Mehr ...
runit is a replacement for SysV-init and other init schemes. It runs on Debian GNU/Linux, *BSD, MacOSX, and Solaris, and may be easily adapted to other Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple three-stage concept. Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization tasks. Stage 2 starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir program). Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or reboot. . See http://smarden.org/runit/ for more information. . This package replaces the /sbin/init program and configures runit to run as process no 1 after the next reboot.
