Hello everyone,
The runit home page invites people to write to the mailing list if runit runs on
another operating system. I used runit as init systems on Debian GNU/Hurd, see
the output of ps attached.
On a microkernel operating system like the Hurd, the init (runit in this case)
is not the first program running in userspace, but on Debian the PIDs are
renumbered such that runit is reassigned PID 1.
Perhaps interesting here is the fact that the Hurd does some sort of supervision
of its own servers, with passive translators being restarted when needed, but I
don't know the exact mechanism by which this is achieved.
Best regards,
João
