Does that mean that my system will permanently try to start all network
daemons when I decide that I want to shutdown the network for a few minutes?
This would happen to all daemons that terminate while network is
temporarily down, and fail to startup again, yes.
Then runit at least doesn't implement dependencies completely. A fully
depedencies-aware init system should automatically shut down all
services depending on network when I request the network to be shut down
and start them again when the network is started.
Yeah, sysvinit doesn't do this as well. I never said that.
