Package: runit-run
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

Just upgrading the package (to v.0.7.0), I was surprised that it installs by
default 5 getty services, whereas I need none.

[Obviously, my wish is in contradiction with report #353673.]

Indeed, I use runit in an enhanced "chroot" environment: vserver
(see http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/project/), where it fits
particularly well.
But "getty" is unnecessary to access the "virtual" servers.
And now, by default, I have...

  712 ?        Ss     0:00 runsv getty-1
  714 ?        Ss     0:00 runsv getty-2
  716 ?        Ss     0:00 runsv getty-3
  718 ?        Ss     0:00 runsv getty-4
  720 ?        Ss     0:00 runsv getty-5
15118 ?        Ss     0:00 getty 38400 tty4 linux
15120 ?        Ss     0:00 getty 38400 tty2 linux
15124 ?        Ss     0:00 getty 38400 tty1 linux
15126 ?        Ss     0:00 getty 38400 tty5 linux
15128 ?        Ss     0:00 getty 38400 tty3 linux

... 10 useless processes, on each vserver.
[Some people run several dozens of them.]

Of course, from my point of view, The sysadmin should be
given the opportunity to refuse the automatic creation of
the services.  Could it be possible to add the necessary
configuration in the install scripts?


Best,
Gilles
