Hi Avery. OpenRC is nice, but it still backbones sysvinit in some ways. If you do however need utilities for halt/shutdown/reboot the Runit-for-LFS project imported an init-shim kit from ArchIgnite that features these functions.

Subject: Re: [NEWS/ANNOUNCE] Supervision Scripts Framework

Supervision Scripts Framework is focused on a feature-rich drop-in set
of scripts and support for runit and s6, although I think Toki has since
added support for daemontools-alike supervisors. The following list is
based on what little I know about it, so please take it with a grain of
salt if I misunderstand or mis-state something here:

It features OpenRC integration, single-file-per-definition
configuration, "no-compile" installation, getty support, emerging cgroup
support, the ability to easily roll your own definitions, and support
for both the startup and shutdown phases. The work has a Gentoo
influence but it should be portable to other OpenRC environments. Also
there are a handful of base definitions for daemons, but it should be
easy to add more as needed. Toki's project is /rapidly /evolving on
github, under a BSD 2-clause license:

https://github.com/tokiclover/supervision-scripts


The supervision-scripts project evolved out of an earlier project,
providing a portable supervision/distro/kernel/userland-neutral set of
definitions for use with daemontools (and daemontool-alikes), runit, and
s6. It currently features 70+ definitions, configuration by envdir,
"no-compile" installation, getty support, the ability to easily roll
your own definitions, admin-managed user-controlled daemons, and
optional peer-level script-based daemon dependency startup. It does NOT
include startup or shutdown support, nor are there plans to include it.
There's a list of planned features; each release will include
approximately 122 additional definitions. *The project is in its infancy
and is subject to major changes until the 0.1 release*.

My project is moving at a /leisurely/ pace on bitbucket with a mirror on
github, under an MPL 2.0 license (minus rider "B"). NOTE: The license
will switch to BSD once it reaches the 0.2 release, which will contain
244 definitions:

primary: https://bitbucket.org/avery_payne/supervision-scripts
mirror: https://github.com/apayne/supervision-scripts

They have similar names and internal concepts but very different goals. If you're running a system with OpenRC and want a drop-in ready-to-go framework, give Toki's a try.
