Thanks. Yes I eventually stumbled on this. And as you say,
it is possible to drill down through the init script to
get just a few essential lines and environment settings.

I guess the biggest problem is that I have 78 working init
scripts, so it would be a gradual process to switch over to
runit. I guess if I can start runit under sysvinit, I could
move services one by one.

Like you, I don't expect to run heavy-weight GUI
environment, so I think a lot of fat could be cut away. Just
that it's also running code ;-)

I hope I can find time to fiddle with this.
