A reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the GNU GPL, sharing no code with the original implementation. It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir, envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan, svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service directories), anonidentd (an anonimising identd implementation) and ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a brief rundown of the options. Please note that this package is *not* a drop-in replacement for daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't quite the same. It's also still somewhat experimental, so I'd recommend sticking with daemontools on production systems until there's a stable release of freedt.
