Daemontools

Daemontools, described by its author as "a collection of tools for managing UNIX services", is the pioneer of what some people call today a process supervision suite, i.e. a package that provides tools for performing process supervision. There are no further releases of daemontools after 0.76, but other software packages have been inspired by its design principles, notably runit, s6, perp, nosh, and an enhanced succesor, daemontools-encore.
