+I want a service to be run under runit service supervision, so that it's
+automatically started on system boot, and supervised while system uptime.
+How does that work?
+<p>
+Answer:
+runit doesn't use the usual <tt>/etc/init.d/</tt> init script interface,
+but uses a directory per service.
+To integrate a service into the runit init scheme,
+<a href="#create">create a service directory</a> for the service, and

+
+<hr>
+<a name="create"><h3>
+How do I create a new service directory
+</h3></a>
+How do I create a service directory for the use with runit?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Service directories usually are placed into the <tt>/etc/sv/</tt>
+directory.
+Create a new directory for your service in <tt>/etc/sv/</tt>, put a
+<tt>./run</tt> script into it, and make the script executable.
+Note that for the use with runit,
+<a href="#service">service daemons</a> must not put themself into the
+background, but must run in the foreground.
+Here's a simple example for a <tt>getty</tt> service:
+<pre>
+ $ cat /etc/sv/getty-2/run
+ #!/bin/sh
+ exec getty 38400 tty2 linux
+ $ 
+</pre>
+Note the <tt>exec</tt> in the last line, it tells the shell that
+interprets the script to replace itself with the service daemon

+How do I create a service directory with an appendant log service for the

+Then create a subdirectory <tt>./log</tt> in the service directory, again
+put a <tt>./run</tt> script into it, and make the script executable.

+I created a service directory for a service that should run under runit

+How do I tell runit about the new service directory, so that it picks
+up and runs the service by default?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Create a symbolic link in <tt>/var/service/</tt> pointing to the service
+directory, runit will pick up the service within the next five seconds,
+and automatically start it on system boot.
+E.g.:

+I want to stop a service temporarily, and probably restart is later, or
+I want to have it restarted immediately.
+How can I control a service running under runit service supervision?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Use the <a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program.

+Answer:
+User the <a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program.
+E.g., to query or check the status of the <tt>socklog-unix</tt> service,

+How do I remove a service
+</h3></a>
+I want to remove a service that currently runs under runit service
+supervision.
+How do I tell runit?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Remove the symbolic link in <tt>/var/service/</tt> pointing to the service
+directory, runit recognizes the removed service within the next five
+seconds, then stops the service, the optional log service, and finally the
+supervisor process.

+How do I make a service depend on another service
+</a></h3>
+I have a service that needs another service to be available before it can
+start.
+How can I tell runit about this dependency?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Make sure in the <tt>./run</tt> script of the dependant service that the
+service it depends on is available before the service daemon starts.
+The <a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program can be used for that.
+E.g. the <tt>cron</tt> service wants the <tt>socklog-unix</tt> system
+logging service to be available before starting the <tt>cron</tt> service
+daemon, so no logs get lost:
+<pre>
+ $ cat /etc/sv/cron/run
+ #!/bin/sh
+ sv start socklog-unix || exit 1
+ exec cron -f
+ $ 
+</pre>

+Other init schemes support runlevels, what about runit?

+See <a href="runlevels.html">the documentation</a>.
+
+<hr>
+<a name="lsb"><h3>
+What about LSB init scripts compliance

+I know about the <a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program to control a service,
+but have applications that rely on the <tt>/etc/init.d/</tt> scripts
+interface as defined in the LSB.
+Do I need to change the application to work with runit?
+<p>
+Answer:
+The <a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program supports the <tt>/etc/init.d/</tt>
+script interface
+<a href="http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/iniscrptact.html">
+as defined through LSB</a>.
+To make this script interface work for a service, create a symbolic link
+in <tt>/etc/init.d/</tt>, named as the service daemon, pointing to the
+<a href="sv.8.html">sv</a> program, e.g. for the <tt>cron</tt> service:
+<pre>
+ # ln -s /bin/sv /etc/init.d/cron

+<tt>/etc/runit/stopit</tt>, and the <tt>./supervise/</tt>
+subdirectories in the service directories.
+How can I make runit work on my system?
+<p>
+Answer:
+Use symbolic links, runit deals with them well, even with dangling
+symlinks.
+E.g., make a ramdisk available at a moint point, say <tt>/var/run/</tt>,
+and create symbolic links for the files and directories that runit needs
+to write access to pointing into <tt>/var/run/</tt>:
+<pre>
+ # ln -s /var/run/runit.stopit /etc/runit/stopit
