Hi Steven,

I use s6/s6-rc/s6-linux-init on most of my computers (few laptops,
desktop and RPi3). It works just as expected, however it took some time
to built whole dependency graph of all services and oneshots, especially
to make some parts sharable across multiple machines.

A little disadvantage is the lack of support in Gentoo, by which I mean
there are no s6 run scripts installed by emerge. A slightly bigger
disadvantage is/was some collision of s6-linux-init with sysvinit or
openrc (I don't remember exactly) which led me to creation of my own s6
profiles (see https://github.com/arkamar/overlay/tree/master/profiles).

Looking to the history, I already use s6 powered Gentoos for more than 3
years and except of those few struggles, everything works just fine.

Petr

It's supported pretty well at s6, from what I've seen.

Basic idea makes sense: Avoids systemd's overboard approach, 
does solve issues with pidfiles and logic races. I've written
similar things for Docker so the basic idea seems workable. 

Not sure if I've missed anything in their description that
makes it hell to actually use, however :-)

You mean [  init system sys-apps/s6  ]  ?  It is still been marked test yellow

flag.  I  think  most  of  users  are  using  openrc  and  systemd,  Be  
carefull

to  use  it, seems  maybe  no  enough  support  to  solve  problems.

Seems like a reasonable idea, wondering if anyone has seen particularly
good or bad results from trying to use it (on gentoo or anything else).

Thanks
