Perfect!  Thanks!  I'd like to contribute the following configuration
to handle the OpenAFS server suite (openafs.org)

/var/service/afs-server/run

  #!/bin/bash
  exec /usr/sbin/bosserver -nofork

/var/service/afs-server/control/t

  #!/bin/bash
  sv quit afs-server

Bosserver really needs to be sent SIGQUIT; if you sent it SIGTERM it
will die but leave its child processes running (orphaned), at which
point they're difficult to easily shut down cleanly.

You might want to consider adding this here in case other people don't
know about the SIGQUIT thing (it took me a while to figure it out).

Thanks again; runit is great!
