Note that: - You do not have to follow the slashpackage convention to use or build s6. You can configure it out. - You do not have to write your init scripts in execline. Any scripting language, including the shell, will do; I use execline because it allows me to do things /bin/sh does not, or not easily. - There is a mailing-list, [email protected], dedicated to software like s6 and runit. If you have trouble building, installing or using such software, please subscribe and ask for help. I'm absolutely willing to make s6 easier to use, but I need the feedback.

Thanks for giving s6 a chance! You won't be disappointed - and if you are, make sure to let me know why.
