Why's that? supervise, svc, multilog, all really useful tools.
They've alway struck me as an attempt to reimplement SysV init scripts
for distros that don't do SysV. I haven't missed their functionality.
No, they do more than that.
SysV init scripts just launch a service when you enter a particular run
level (and stop it when you leave, possibly).
supervise starts and monitors a service, i.e. if the service dies for
whatever reason supervise re-launches it pretty much immediately.
svc is just a tools to control supervise'd services.
multilog is a more reliable way to log than syslog.
I've not seen Nagios before, but it's not really the same sort of
thing as daemontools.
Looks quite neat, though.
Nagios is up there with Slimserver in coolness. Nagios can be tough to
configure, but it's amazingly flexible and really quite smart. A glowing
example of open source software that beats the pants off of commercial
alternatives.
I'll maybe check it out some time when I've got a minute (yeah, right!)
