If the vendors of those programs care about this they can provide a new interface, and if the customers care they can try to make the vendors care. > (Sure, they might not be packaged for Debian, but adopting an init > system that doesn't deal with double-forking would be much, much worse > than adopting one which is Linux-specific for our Linux ports.) I'm not suggesting that we should do anything that makes the existing situation worse. We should not adopt an init system that, with double-forking daemons and init scripts, fails to work as well as that approach currently does with sysvinit. But I don't think it is a good idea to adopt a complicated workaround (which is essentially what the cgroups approach is), to get proper daemon supervision, when we can simply fix the root cause.
