I agree. In perfect world of knowlegable programmers writing software that works there is no need for supervisors. One can handle errors or leave this for supervisor. For me supervisor will always be a tool of a helpless admin. Regards piotr ___ Dng ma

upstart is init subsystem which is using same names for binaries; commands as sysvinit probably to be a drop in replacement, not ment to coexist with sysvinit. sysv-rc,openrc , file-rc all depend on init binary daemon and are replacements for init.d/rc(S) files which init binary executes. so they

IMHO automount for desktop is a helper for a user running some X session. Usually that means that a single person is using this system. So make him a helper which can do automount/autorun etc which helps him on a daily basis. Helps him not the admin of the system. A simple one which is a helper, n
