New comment by CameronNemo on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/12974#issuecomment-510336839 Comment: Lots of services like alsa, iptables, ufw, etc used the mechanism you have here. At first glance it is fairly clever, but it is weak for a couple reasons: - no way to tell if or when the task has actually completed - two useless processes hanging around (memory and clutter concerns) Indeed having the boot/shutdown task in the same place is a nice quality of this mechanism. Hopefully we can maintain that while solving the above problems. It will require additions to void-runit.
