runit

For services that are taken up through the 'once' command, 'sv down' now properly instructs runsv to send the service daemon the TERM and CONT signals. Additionally, the selftests in the build process have been fixed.

The chpst program learned a new option -b to run a program with a different name as the 0th argument, and some reported bugs have been fixed.

The documentation has been updated slightly since
the latest test package. There were no changes to
the runit source code. This is the second stable
release of runit.

The default directory for services is now
/service/, and no longer /var/service/. When
installing runit on a system that should comply
with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS),
neither /service/ nor /var/service/ should be
chosen, but /etc/service/. It is recommended to
create a compatibility symlink /service pointing
to /etc/service in this case. This version
additionally fixes the runsv program to properly
handle service directories with ./log being a
symlink to a directory on a different device, and
slightly updates the sv program and the
documentation.

The runit program, process number 1, has been fixed to reap dead processes that re-parented to process number 1 (zombies) more thoroughly. Instructions on how to use runit with upstart as an init scheme have been added, svlogd has been changed to use a new source port for each log message sent through UDP, and this release includes a build fix for AIX.
