start-stop-daemon [1] is a small program from debian used to
control the creation and termination of system-level processes
in a reliable and secure way.
We decided to add start-stop-daemon to our core collection and
as with most core ports it is a requirement for a working CRUX
system. Please install.
We encourage all port maintainers to use start-stop-daemon in
their rc scripts. This will improve the scripts a lot without
the need for complex shell scripting.
