I bet you are going to tell me the only reliable and non-hacky way to track the state of a service is not forking/writing to files but starting it foreground by a long-living daemon. I agree with you. OpenRC leverages cgroups when available. We are also working on a plugin framework for external supervisors such as djbtools, runit and s6 (maybe launchd, smf, systemd, ... as well if they're hackable) to do this foreground status tracking while integrated with OpenRC: We are not there yet though. These advanced features are optional. We can still use the unreliable and hacky way of trakcing files when the task is trivial, like a personal VPS or laptop which do not care much about running sshd/httpd for 3 years non-stop.
