How to install daemontools

Like any other piece of software (and information generally), daemontools comes with NO WARRANTY.

System requirements

daemontools works only under UNIX.

Create a /package directory:

     mkdir -p /package
     chmod 1755 /package
     cd /package

Download daemontools-0.76.tar.gz into /package. Unpack the daemontools package:

     gunzip daemontools-0.76.tar
     tar -xpf daemontools-0.76.tar
     rm -f daemontools-0.76.tar
     cd admin/daemontools-0.76

Compile and set up the daemontools programs:

     package/install

On BSD systems, reboot to start svscan.

To report success:

     mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.to < /package/admin/daemontools/compile/sysdeps
