Why not? It's simple, it's efficient, and it gets out of your way.

- mixmastamyk 7y agoBeen five years so hard to remember, but something about restarting daemon was a chore and strange datetime format in logs left a bad taste.
- hvdijk 7y agodaemontools does not support "start service B once service A is up and running", it can only do "start service A before starting service B". For services that take a while after starting before they are ready, such as databases, that can be a problem. Traditional sh init scripts were able to handle this as most such services could fork and exit once they were ready, but fork and exit is incompatible with daemontools. Some daemontools clones have ways to handle this, but IIRC daemontools itself does not.
- filterfish 7y agonosh being one of those.
