[announce] perp: persistent process supervision

[Wayne Marshall]

Introducing perp, aka "the perpetrator":

Tarball:

Hype, Outrageous Claims & Assertions:

perp is a service supervisor similar in purpose to the venerable
daemontools package, providing a modern update with many
advantages:

    * easy configuration: in place service activation and no
      symlinks!
    * everthing administered in /etc/perp
    * fully FHS compatible
    * service reset capability
    * pretty good troff -man documentation
    * colorized(!) service lister, readable timestamps...
    * no slashpackage, no slashcommand, no slashdoc...

Meanwhile, perp continues to share many of the positive features
and coding philosophies of daemontools:

    * small, portable, autoconf-less, standard C89/posix sources
    * daemons never malloc()
    * make(1) agnostic
    * links with dietlibc for small executables

User Feedback/Questions/Suggestions, Happily Ignored:

Just kidding.  We would be delighted to hear from anyone,

the perp gang.
