Of the two I have experience with, runit is simpler and thus easier to get the hang of than s6-rc/s6. Though the s6 (not s6-rc) docs at the author's site contain a lot of info (including apologetics and rationales) that applies almost equally well to runit. Source: about 1 year ago
Using the s6-service add command I added a service called "libvertd" when I ment to put "libvirtd". Now when I run s6-db-reload it spits out a error message saying "undefined service name libvertd". But I cant remove it using s6-service remove libvertd because that just spits out a generic help message and doesn't change anything. I also couldn't find documentation on Https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ or... Source: over 1 year ago

Very interesting project. Has anyone tried it? Apparently they have written their own init: https://gokrazy.org/userguide/process-interface/ This makes me curious.

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
Certainly not me; I'd prefer an OpenBSD equivalent of s6-linux-init so that I can use s6/66 (which I do on my Void Linux system). Source: over 2 years ago
It uses async_std, the super fast jsonnet rust implementation (jrsonnet), and isahc under the hood, and can notify other services under the s6 supervision suite that the configuration files have been generated on startup. Source: over 2 years ago

Uhh... S6 basically runs on nearly everything, but to give you a start, read the docs. Source: almost 3 years ago
