Firstly, non-forking daemon startup and supervision is less of a
feature and more of a design decision. I think that doing it from
scratch in a system which doesn't have it at all involves a lot of
design decisions and a fair amount of programming work.
Secondly, the features I list as missing for upstart are not IMO
anywhere near as important.
If you think OpenRC will soon have non-forking daemon startup, then
excellent. Can you explain to me how it will work ?
Thanks,
Ian.
