Hi viverna, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish, but if service_required is not a daemon then you wouldn't use sv to start it. If service_required is just a shellscript to set things up for my_service, then you'd just do the following: #!/bin/sh service_required || exit 1 exec my_service And under the preceding conditions, service_required should be renamed setup_shellscript. If service_required is a prerequisite for running several daemons, it should be called from either /etc/runit/1 or /etc/runit/2. Once again, it should be renamed. If service_required should still be running when my_service starts up, then service_required should have its own /etc/sv/service_required and the symlink in /var/service, and a test should be devised to determine whether service_required is functional. Let's say that test is contained in a shellscript called service_required_is_functional, that returns 0 when the service proves it's functioning, and some other number otherwise (I use 1). Then the run script for my_service looks like this: #!/bin/sh if service_required_is_functional; then exec my_service fi sleep 1 There are ways to actually run service_required if it's not currently running, but I prefer the preceding, because it's very simple. The runsvdir does another round robin, by which time hopefully runsvdir has done a runsv on service_required, and all is good. If service_required keeps on failing, well, that's another story: It must be troubleshot. The precedingly described process sounds very undeterministic and subject to race conditions and it sounds like a field of tightly packed mousetraps all supporting a tennis ball ready to fly and set off other mousetraps. I know it sounds like that. All I can tell you is that in the 4 years I've used runit, I've never detected a problem caused by non-determinism or a race condition.
