You can get the same result using the @boot trigger in cron. In reality, though, this often fails, because home dirs may bit yet be mounted (or may have failed to mount) when this is run. > [[init]] is the original program given this task, and is still often > used for this purpose.

How? > svscan from [[daemontools]] is a good one. supervise from daemontools seems to be the closer match. It seems to provide the functionality I was looking for, however, it appears to require a specific setup, specifically, one directory per service, with a ./run script in it. That's a bit inconvenient. The closest match yet was start-stop-daemon, which Multichil suggested on IRC. That does pretty much the same thing as phoenix does, with a heap more options. I wish I had found it earlier :) Oh well, reinventing wheels is educational. In any case, I don't care much which tools you use -- of you have bots that should be "always up", please use supervise run it from cron via start-stop-daemon or phoenix, so it gets (re)launched automatically. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l
