It starts the service and restarts the +service if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise +needs is a directory with a run script that runs the service. + +multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally +timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines +matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit the +amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and tries +again, without losing any data. + +Also included are svscan (starts one supervise process for each +service), svscanboot (run by init to start svscan in the /service +directory), readproctitle (show error messages in ps o/p) and many +others. See the home page for a list and for documentation. + +This package differs from the daemontools package in that +it installs the binaries to /usr/bin instead of /command. + +daemontools is written by D. J. Bernstein. + +See README.Slackware on how to use it after installation. |
