2017-05-10supervise-daemon:create multiple options from --respawn-limitWilliam Hubbs
This creates --respawn-delay, --respawn-max and --respawn-period. It was suggested that it would be easier to follow if the options were separated. This is for #126.
2017-05-09supervise-daemon: add a --respawn-limit optionWilliam Hubbs
Allow limiting the number of times supervise-daemon will attempt to respawn a daemon once it has died to prevent infinite respawning. Also, set a reasonable default limit (10 times in a 5 second period). This is for issue #126.

This fixes #77.
2016-09-16Add command_progress variableWilliam Hubbs
If this is set to yes, 1, true, or on, start-stop-daemon will display a progress meter while waiting for a daemon to stop.
2016-09-13man/openrc-run.8: update variable documentationWilliam Hubbs
- document command_args_background and command_user.r - clarify documentation for command_background This fixes #78.

2016-04-27add daemon supervisorWilliam Hubbs
The supervise-daemon process is meant to be a lightweight supervisor which can monitor and restart a daemon if it crashes.

2015-12-21Convert OpenRC to a centralized copyright/license structureWilliam Hubbs
In the past, OpenRC was a hybrid of a centralized and file-scope license/copyright structure. I followed the instructions from the Software Freedom Law Center [1] to convert to a Centralized structure where possible, for easier future maintenance.

2015-11-12Implement "want" dependencyIan Stakenvicius
The want dependency is similar to the use dependency. If a service script, for example called service1, adds "want service2" to its depend function, OpenRC will attempt to start service2, if it exists on the system, when service1 is started. However, service1 will start regardless of the status of service2. X-Gentoo-Bug: 406021 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406021
2015-05-27man: Document the stopsig variableMike Gilbert
This variable can be used to set the signal to send if the service is using start-stop-daemon. This fixes #56
2015-05-14s6: Use s6-svc -Dd to stop servicesWilliam Hubbs
This allows us to get rid of the sleep call in the stop function. Also, we set a configurable timeout value for stopping daemons.
2015-05-13Fix the s6 handlingWilliam Hubbs
This changes the default s6 service directory to /var/svc.d, also it changes the code to work with the individual services instead of forcing a rescan when a service is started or stopped.
2015-05-11Add support for the s6 supervision suiteWilliam Hubbs
2015-05-11man: Clarify the documentation for command_argsWilliam Hubbs
The command_args variable only works if using start-stop-daemon to start the daemon.
2014-10-20runscript.sh: add chroot supportWilliam Hubbs
This adds support for a chroot variable which will be passed to the start-stop-daemon --chroot switch to runscript.sh when starting a daemon. This also needs to be saved so it can be used in locating the pid file when stopping the daemon. X-Gentoo-Bug: 524388 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524388

2013-12-29Rename runscript to openrc-runWilliam Hubbs
This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.
