Hi, I am maintainer for run and console-log, and waiting for NM to complete. Unfortunately, run has a nasty bug that causes console-log to hang which in turn may prevent a clean shutdown. Upstream doesn't maintain run any more (and I shouldn't have packaged it in the first place), and isn't interested in fixing that bug. I don't have the expertise to fix this one as it is buried deep inside interprocess communication and vanishes under the debugger and when debugging outputs are included, and asking for help on debian-devel multiple times didn't show a helper.
I am now seriously thinking of having run pulled from the project since its quality surely isn't up to Debian's standards. To keep console-log, I need a program that can daemonize a "normal" program, i.e. put it in the background, maintain a pid file unter /var/run and optionally restart the program when it dies. Is something that can do this in Debian at the moment, or is there maybe somebody who can help in debugging run? Any hints will be appreciated.
