Hi,

Runsvdir also does not become a background process automatically. So, I
tried using runsv directly. I can run it in the background, but the
problem is that now my shell will not exit and I am forced to kill the
shell which is not always a good thing. Would you have any ideas about
how to get around this?

About the problem below, I donot know for sure but I will investigate.

Thanks and Cheers,
Raja.
