Personally, I'm in favor of all services having init.d scripts, for
convenience and consistency. Yes, if someone installs daemontools, then he
should know how to use it. But I myself have been using daemontools for
quite a while now and I prefer the simplicity of typing one command
to stop and start qmail, instead of a bunch of commands --
init.d way:
/etc/init.d/qmail start
daemontools way:
svc -u /var/qmail/supervise/*
svc -u /var/qmail/supervise/*/log
init.d way:
/etc/init.d/dns stop
daemontools way:
svc -d /etc/tinydns
svc -d /etc/tinydns/log
svc -d /etc/dnscache
svc -d /etc/dnscache/log
.
.
You get the point. IMHO It's just more convenient to have it all in one
"friendly" script.
