Simple, but you do point out in local-reaper's docs, "One cannot just apply this willy-nilly." :P > You could write your own, or use the one that I wrote, packaged up, and > published.

(And how should we apply chain-loading local-reaper to runsv?) For the use case of process-tree-as-admin-tool, knowing which service spawned those processes is much more useful than guessing from among many.
