Hi, a new test package of runit is available for testing

 http://smarden.org/runit/

With this version the runsv program makes controlling the service
through commands normally sent by runsvctrl configurable; arbitrary
actions through external programs can optionally be specified, and
signalling of the service disabled if desired.  See the man page[0]
for details.

runsv now reports the seconds since ./run has been started when running
the ./finish script, instead of the seconds since ./finish has been
started.  It no longer reports immediately failing ./run scripts as
``running'' for up to one second, but as ``down, normally up, want up''.

If you use runit regularly, please contribute[1] to the project.

Thanks, Gerrit.
