The daemontools package contains a set of utilities for controlling and monitoring services. It's highly recommended, especially for busy systems. Key utilities included are:
-
supervise, which monitors a service and restarts it if it dies
-
svscan, which monitors a service directory and starts supervise
-
svc, which talks to supervise and allows one to stop, pause, or restart a service
-
multilog, which maintains a log for a service, automatically rotating it to keep it under the configured size
-
setuidgid, which runs a program for the superuser with a normal user's user and group IDs
Gerrit Pape distributes the documentation for daemontools as man pages from http://innominate.org/~pape/djb/.
daemontools was written by Daniel Bernstein, who maintains a Web page for it (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html).
