>pid files
disgusting
daemontools-style supervision is the only
i opens daemontools code to check what else he do.

supervise.c basically:
open_trunc("supervise/status.new");
write(fd,status,sizeof status);
rename("supervise/status.new","supervise/status");
so, yeah, just a pid file too, except called status, and has a couple of extra flags.
but you got me though. now i ended up reading beautiful djb code,
and i like the pleasant feeling in my eyes.

maybe one day i will use daemontools, s6, and runit, for extended periods just to see if i'm missing out on anything. trying them on the surface level doesn't feel too interesting, and i have 0 issues running slackware's init setup, so i don't feel the need to change. one day maybe~
