I don't see the point in letting init do serious process monitoring. Just use a minimal init and startup a separate process monitoring daemon (or what theese things are called). ... > Ability to run foreground daemons is a huge asset when you make your > own daemons.

It seems the need to use theese process monitors has sprung up from the availability of shitty deamons. In my view, when a deamon dies by any other cause than from your will then it shall die so hard that it causes a major headacke and the shitty programmer should be publicly flogged as a reminder and example to other programmers -- well not really, but you get my point. Most deamons I have run, they just run, they don't need a process monitor except me.
