Maybe you are interested in the runit package. This is an init system
with builtin service supervision. Cloning a service is an easy task,
as you don't need to rely on PID files etc., and you can also check
what instances are in which state in an easy way, and control each
instance in a reliable way.
For a start, you can use runit in parallel with the usual sysvinit to
control a subset of services, but you can also replace sysvinit
completly with runit.
