Hi, a new runit package, version 1.3.0, is available for testing http://smarden.org/runit/ This release introduces a first test version of the sv program, which can be used to control the state and query the status of services monitored by runsv. Optionally it can be sym-linked into /etc/init.d/ to provide an interface to LSB init script actions for services controlled by runit. See the man page[0] for details. Thanks to Lars Uffmann, instructions on how to use runit under launchd on MacOSX 10.4 have been added. If you use runit regularly, please contribute[1] to the project. Regards, Gerrit.
