Package: daemontools-run
Version: 0.76-3
When using daemontools-run, only root can manipulate /etc/service.
That sets strong limitation.
For security reason, in a server farm for internet services,
application processes that do real work are normally run under
non-priviledged account instead of root, and separated from internet
by frontend servers (load balancers).
In the said scenario, daemontools should run under non-priviledged
accounts. This eases operations.
Here is my solution
https://github.com/lark/daemontools-userrun
Note that it still supports /etc/service for root (when configured).
The only problem is without init's help (/etc/inittab), svscan may be
killed and no respawn happens. IMHO, it's not a big problem if oom
killer doesn't kill it.
Please consider incorporate this 'daemontools-userrun' functionality
into daemontools packages. The said git repository is in-house
operation work so no explicit license is attached, while the code is
based upon svscanboot.
