And exactly this kind of setup can be made with the standard syslog
interface as well, it doesn't buy anything with the exception that
I can restart my log daemon. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you
to switch over to using syslog, if multilog works for you. It might
very well be the perfect tool. Actually apache especially with mod_php
is an example of unstable software IMO, it tends to segfault at times.
Nothing critical, enough parallel processes to just take over.

There's a port for runit and it should be pretty easy to tell it to run
the normal /etc/rc for initialisation. I don't want runit in the
base system [or similiar tools] and parallel startup for rcNG is surely
possible, but adds some difficult problems as well. I'm not a friend
of the "My system needs only 15.656 seconds to boot" style dick
comparisions.
