Description: A collection of tools for managing UNIX services.
 The following is taken from http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html.
 .
 daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services. 
 .
 supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the service 
 if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise needs is a 
 directory with a run script that runs the service. 
 .
 multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally timestamps 
 each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines matching specified 
 patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit the amount of disk space used. 
 If the disk fills up, it pauses and tries again, without losing any data. 
 .
 svscan starts one supervise process for each subdirectory of the current 
 directory, up to a limit of 1000 subdirectories. svscan skips subdirectory 
 names starting with dots. supervise must be in svscan's path. 
 .
 If a subdirectory sub is sticky, svscan starts a pair of supervise processes, 
 one for sub, one for sub/log, with a pipe between them. svscan needs two 
 free descriptors for each pipe.
