daemontools. I publish RPM wrappers for it at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_nkadel_daemontools-2D0.76-2Dsrpm&d=DwIBaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=LsDDsj7QA7CY_26nwxgDLTsF_n97lwVxm7knYej_yXQ&s=Rw5Lk6l-WDwuvdgWv1ul97hEkjV4y-evQ3Kbw1nbigU&e= : RPM . It still worked
well the lat time I tested it last year, and the author gave up on the
funky licenses and put it in the public domain some years ago. The
funky licenses were also why his djbdns and qmail software were never
very widely adopted: not everyone has the leisure to hand-compile
patches on top of source code to make our own system-compatible
versions of his software, especially because (just like systemd!) he
added new top-level directories at the top of "/" and violated the
File System Hierarchy. the FSH has since been updated to accommodate
systemd's architectural demands.
