I recently posted the following message on the list.smarden.org
mailing list.  I thought it might also be of interest here ...

There's a replacement for /etc/inittab processing called "upstart" that
is currently being used in Ubuntu linux and possibly other places (see
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/).  I got runit going under this environment,
and I thought it would be useful to add upstart instructions to the
"runit - use with traditional init" documentation that's located at
http://smarden.org/runit/useinit.html

I'd like to offer the following documentation to be added right below
the "Using with sysvinit" section:

  Using with sysvinit and upstart

  If your system uses a sysvinit alike init scheme that utilizes
  upstart instead of inittab, and which has start and stop scripts
  located in /etc/event.d, do:

   # cat >/etc/event.d/SV <<EOT
   # for runit - manage /sbin/runsvdir-start
   start on runlevel-2
   start on runlevel-3
   start on runlevel-4
   start on runlevel-5
   stop on shutdown
   respawn /sbin/runsvdir-start
   EOT

  and tell init to re-read its configuration, e.g.:

   # init q

As part of this, I'd also recommend changing the current heading
"Using with sysvinit" to "Using with sysvinit and inittab", or
some such thing.
