Thanks Karl,

Some questions:

1) Does Busybox init require the daemon to background itself?

2) Does Busybox init give you a reasonable way to automatically restart the process
after the process terminates?

3) Does Busybox init give you the choice of auto-restart or not for each different
process? If it does, that's something specifically missing in Runit.

Thanks,
