Don't want s6 as it brings with it a binary configuration database (Windows registry). systemd at least has text files for config.

My sole resistance to s6, binary config AND default-all privilege for spawned daemon.

Better to stick with INI v1.4 format.

Sorry, where's the binary configuration database in S6? The config looked like a collection of directories with scripts to run to start things.

EDIT: Ah, you might mean https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html -- that indeed is getting to be weirdly complex.
