Hello Steve, thanks for working on this :-).

I myself use runit, quite a bit. Not as an init system though, but it'd
interesting.

Now, disclaimer: I've had a busy week and haven't thoroughly read on the
thread that seemed to be about this; so I may have missed something
important.


I'll just add that when I use runit, I use svlogd. The main reason for
this being that it is guaranteed to just do the right thing with the
signals sent by sv and it is flexible enough.

That being said, logger probably does work well; I just haven't given it
a shot :-).

Basically: if I were to do this, I'd probably go with svlogd because it
feels more future-safe (packaged together, signal interactions
documented, thought to work with runit).
But also it is unlikely that logger changes too much to make it
incompatible with runit.
