It's still a different command. And anyway, very often the daemon itself needs to handle the PID files, which means that I can't use that. But more importantly, start-stop-daemon only starts and stops the daemon once. It's not a daemon monitor. Would there be any objection if I replaced init.d scripts in some of my packages with runit configs (as does the git daemon)? -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
