Most of the tools are independent reimplementations of Dan +Bernstein's daemontools. -It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir, -envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan, -svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog -replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service -directories), anonidentd (an anonimising identd implementation) and -ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All -the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a -brief rundown of the options. - -Please note that this package is *not* a drop-in replacement for -daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are -different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't -quite the same.
