Openrc-init and supervise-daemon

OpenRC has developed itself and has gained some new features. In this article two features are highlighted:


 * openrc-init, is OpenRC's own init system, and can act as a replacement for sysvinit, and
 * supervise-daemon, which can supervise daemon processes. Supervise-daemon could replace start-stop-daemon, which is used by quite a few services.
