An idea for sv

[Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>]

Hi all,

I had a small idea for sv (feel free to tell me if it's stupid). What 
about creating a library, libsv, that provides functions for interacting 
with services and the sv program would just be a frontend for the 
library. That way, it would be easier to write frontends for sv or 
programs to manipulate services by using the library's functions rather 
than interpreting the output of sv run with popen for example. I came up 
with that idea when I was wondering how I could replace the current 
Frugalware runlevel editor with one that works with runit once we 
actually merge it into the main repository.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Alex
