I have good news, bad news, and better news. Good news. The latest script at http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v/ appears to make good sysvinit init scripts from a unit file. Bad news: That script is just for sysvinit, and in my 1/2 hour look at it I couldn't find an easy way to pick off info necessary to make facilities for s6, runit or Epoch. Better news: Systemd Unit Files are a pretty good specification of what any process supervisor should do with a daemon, so converters for s6, runit and Epoch should be pretty easy to make. Because declaratory Unit Files are by necessity a superset of script based systems, some human intervention will be necessary, but not a whole lot. Better news: There's an already made collection of runit run scripts, for the usual suspects, at http://smarden.org/runit/runscripts.html . I've put out a query for a similar collection of s6 scripts.
