# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| daemontools: daemontools (djb's tools for managing UNIX services) daemontools: daemontools: daemontools includes several programs. supervise monitors a service. daemontools: It starts the service and restarts the service if it dies.
