Yes, I looked into runit once and I do appreciate the work of the developers very much. But because it looked like work ;-) to migrate everything, (I can't really comment on that much since I got to one crash after which I restored sysvinit) I decided to wait for a debian package which not only installs runit or initng but migrates the services as well. And I am very pleased to see that there is a need for such a package so it is quite likely we are going to see something like this sometime soon. ;-) Nikolai -- "1984" is not a howto! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

One thing I like about runit is it's split up into many small programs (in the traditional UNIX style), so it provides an easy migration path: runsvdir runs nicely as an inittab service providing supervision for other runit services. Services can be gradually migrated from sysvinit to runit as necessary, and then once nothing depends on sysvinit anymore, runit provides a replacement init binary if you're interested. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Since I wrote my last reply off list by accident: Hi everyone Another option might be the runit package which as I recall does the same as initng. But I can't really recommend it since you have to migrate your boot services manually. Is this the same with initng? Then it whould be pretty much useless for me.
