Runit For Ruby And Everything Else

runit's a wonderful tool. Those interested in using it with ruby might want to take a look at the bunch of configurable runit services I use to reliably run several busy Rails sites: https://github.com/purcell/rails-runit

I also wrote an introduction to runit's process supervision scheme here: http://www.sanityinc.com/articles/init-scripts-considered-ha...

Thanks for those links, it's good to see others using runit, I'm afraid because if its lack of popularity it's been overlooked as a sysv replacement in favor of systemd, upstart, and others. Runit's maturity should be a big edge, when thinking about a replacement PID 1.

Yes, it's a shame that the benchmarks didn't include Upstart, but of course that would be tricky to do on the Arch Linux distro they're using.

Problem is the only upstart distribution we tried (with the runit-run package in ubuntu) rendered the system unbootable. This seems to be the case with everything past Karmic.

have you filed this issue with the runit-run maintainer?
