daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services.
|
|
|
|
supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the
|
|
service if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise
|
|
needs is a directory with a run script that runs the service.
|
|
|
|
multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally
|
|
timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines
|
|
matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit the
|
|
amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and tries
|
|
again, without losing any data.
|
|
|
|
Also included are svscan (starts one supervise process for each
|
|
service), svscanboot (run by init to start svscan in the /service
|
|
directory), readproctitle (show error messages in ps o/p) and many
|
|
others. See the home page for a list and for documentation.

daemontools was written by D. J. Bernstein.

|
|
N.B. Installing this package creates the 3 top-level directories
|
|
/command, /package & /service. If any of these exist already,
|
|
you need to consider your options.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you build with
|
|
|
|
EDIT_INITTAB=yes ./daemontools.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
the following 2 items also apply:-
|
|
|
|
N.B. Installing this package modifies /etc/inittab.
|
|
N.B. Installing this package starts the svscanboot service,
|
|
however it won't actually manage anything because there
|
|
will be no symlinks in /service.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you will have to edit /etc/inittab yourself, as per the instructions
|
|
in README.SBo.

See README.SBo before attempting removepkg. upgradepkg is fine.
