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.
