I'm not really qualified to comment on the code but I'm aware that there are lot of ways to get this wrong so please do your homework if you haven't done so already. Your post seems like a good start. :) runit seems highly regarded and we use it at work on CentOS to allow users of the same UNIX group to manage a collection of processes without requiring root or sudo. I wasn't aware of s6 at the time but I've heard that's also good and this makes an interesting read. http://skarnet.org/software/s6/why.html I wonder if it might even make more sense to reuse one of these instead of reinventing the wheel. They are both extremely lightweight. If you feel you can do better though then go for it! Regards, -- James Le Cuirot (chewi) Gentoo Linux Developer
