No, grasshopper. runit *replaces* daemontools. > If so, does it matter what I rename it to? You (I mean I) should comment (or delete) these daemontools lines *out* of the inittab before attempting to install runit (though it would be nice if an install script did that). Do not uninstall the daemotools debian package though. It may have some binaries your existing /var/service's (qmail, dbjdns) are using. > I sure hope the unofficial daemontools-run and runit-run are > compatible with one another! {sigh}. runit is backwards-compatible with daemontools. > Thanks for any suggestion anyone might have to offer!
