| minit - a small yet feature-complete init |
| |
| What works so far |
| * It can start services and take dependencies into account. |
| * It can restart services |
| * It can start services in sync mode (i.e. wait until they |
| terminate, to get around race conditions for static initializations) |
| * There is a companion utility "msvc" that can be used much in the |
| same way as the svc from daemontools. Communication works over two |
| fifos, /etc/minit/in and /etc/minit/out. Those have to exist before |
| minit is started and they should be owned by root and have mode 600. |
| * There is a companion utility "pidfilehack" that can be used to do |
| stuff like run ssh, wait a while, read the PID off /var/run/sshd.pid and |
| tell minit this PID so it will know when sshd exits and can restart it. |
| * It can pipe stdout to a dedicated log process. |
