I always thought daemontools sounded nice, but have never tried to actually use it for system services. Actually, there is one thing that I'm not quite sure how it deals with, which is dependencies. For example, under the Gentoo init scripts, you can specify that, the "httpd" service only gets started after the "net" service is up and running. Looking over daemontools, I wasn't able to find any obvious way of doing this. Is there?
