2022-02-06linux: Add support for No New Privs flagLinkTed
This add No New Privs flag for start-stop-daemon and supervise-daemon by adding --no-new-privs flag. As a result, the user set the No New Privs flag for the program should run with. see PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS prctl(2)
2022-02-06capabilities: Add support for securebits flagsLinkTed
This adds securebits flags for start-stop-daemon and supervise-daemon by adding --secbits option. As a result, the user can specify securebits the program should run with. see capabilities(7)
2021-12-23capabilities: Add support for Linux capabilities(7)LinkTed
This adds capabilities for start-stop-daemon by adding --capabilities option. As a result, the user can specify the inheritable, ambient and bounding set by define capabilities in the service script. This fixes #314.
2021-12-22add option for OOM score adjustmentMatt Whitlock
This commit adds a new --oom-score-adj option to start-stop-daemon and supervise-daemon, as well as an equivalent SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ environment variable. If either of these are specified (with the command-line option taking precedence), then the specified adjustment value is written to /proc/self/oom_score_adj after forking but prior to exec'ing the daemon (at the time when nice and ionice are applied). Additionally, per a suggestion by Mike Frysinger, the suggested values for the SSD_NICELEVEL, SSD_IONICELEVEL, and SSD_OOM_SCORE_ADJ variables in the example config file are now given as zeros, which are the kernel's default values of these process knobs for the init process at boot. Note that uncommenting any of these zero-valued suggestions will cause SSD/SD to set the corresponding process knob affirmatively to zero, whereas leaving the variable unset (and the equivalent command- line option unspecified) means SSD/SD will not change the corresponding process knob from its inherited value. See: https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/pull/435#discussion_r688310672 This fixes #435.
2021-12-20use HEAD in git URIs to point to the default branchMike Frysinger
This makes the URIs shorter and dynamic: whatever the default branch the repo uses will be used.
2021-08-17supervise-daemon: implement SSD_IONICELEVELMatt Whitlock
supervise-daemon was apparently overlooked when support for the SSD_IONICELEVEL environment variable was added. This commit brings supervise-daemon up to parity with start-stop-daemon with respect to this environment variable.

2019-01-01man: supervise-daemon: fix various style issuesMike Frysinger
The .Dt header is supposed to be all caps. This was mixing case. The options block was being incorrectly indented due to a missing .El. Some of the new options were missing the .It block, so add that. Finally, the -D option was missing capitalization.

2018-12-02supervise-daemon: make respawn-max and respawn-period independent settingsWilliam Hubbs
2018-12-02supervise-daemon: add support for a fifoWilliam Hubbs
This will allow us to signal the daemon we are supervising as well as send other commands to the supervisor in the future. This fixes #227.
2018-11-15supervise-daemon: make the pidfile an implementation detailWilliam Hubbs
The pidfile of the supervisor doesn't need to be adjustable by the service script. It is only used so the supervisor can stop itself when the --stop option is used.
2018-10-23supervise-daemon: add health checksWilliam Hubbs
Health checks are a way to monitor a service and make sure it stays healthy. If a service is not healthy, it will be automatically restarted after running the unhealthy() function to clean up.
2018-03-12man: document default retry specification for supervise-daemonWilliam Hubbs
2017-09-06add retry option to supervise-daemonWilliam Hubbs
The --retry option for supervise-daemon defines how the supervisor will attempt to stop the child process it is monitoring. It is defined when the supervisor is started since stopping the supervisor just sends a signal to the active supervisor. This fixes #160.
2017-07-07man: fix an unclosed .Bl/.El warningAdam Borowski
This fixes #151.
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.
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.
