Hello!
What's the benefit for runit to use the files 'stopit' and 'reboot' to
pass information to the runit process instead of using a fifo like
'traditional' init and supervise / runsv do?
Regards,
Thomas

One benefit that comes to my mind is that also other processes than
process no 1 have access to the information, namely stage 3 and the
processes run in stage 3. And communicating with the init process
through signals is easy and reliable as you always know the pid.
What's the benefits of using a named pipe or socket instead?
Regards, Gerrit.
