  colleague needs "runit" to control one or more services that have
historically been managed that way, so a couple questions:

1) anyone with experience with busybox's implementation of runit? does
it work properly? does it play nicely with others?

2) is runit actually necessary, or would it be easy to migrate said
services off of runit?

  i've never used runit, so have no idea what it is that makes it so
(allegedly) indispensable. if it's easily migrateable, that'd be
great.

  thanks muchly.
