Much like systemd, it also does service management, although in a much less involved way. Like with sysvinit, the task of logging is left to a separate process, though it has its own logging daemon, if you wish to use it (as logging... Source: about 1 year ago
PID 1 is special. It's the init. Instead of System V init, you can use OpenRC, runit, systemd, s6, or others. Source: over 2 years ago
Of course the original creator's document is great too: runit - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision. Source: almost 3 years ago
