I discussing my 'solution' how to introduce runit's reliability on "average good web hosting" system. :-P Actually, thinking about "average good web hosting" may be mistake on my side. Last years I'm working on complex tasks, which require dedicated servers or clusters of dedicated servers. I install on these servers my custom Hardened Gentoo with runit anyway, and I'm root on these servers anyway. So, from this view using cron isn't really required anymore. But this "cron+runsvdir" solution was born many years ago when some of my projects was installed on usual web hostings, and I continue using this solution because I don't see the reason why I should lose potential ability to run my projects on these hostings. Running, say, 5 'chpst -L' every 1 minute doesn't impact server's performance in any way. Generating zombies also shouldn't be a problem. So... -- WBR, Alex.
