<p>When using <a href="http://smarden.org/runit/">runit</a> with <a href="http://upstart.ubuntu.com">Upstart</a> in Ubuntu 7.04, you&#8217;re going to run in to a couple of problems. The first is that the package doesn&#8217;t install cleanly without the presence of <code>/etc/inittab</code>, which Upstart doesn&#8217;t need. You can fix that with a simple:</p> <pre> <code> $ sudo touch /etc/inittab </code> </pre> <p>Now, you need to actually add runit to Upstart. You do this by putting the following in <code>/etc/event.d/runsvdir</code>:</p> <pre> <code> start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on shutdown respawn exec /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start </code> </pre> <p>This will cause <code>runsvdir-start</code> to run during runlevel 2, 3, 4, and 5, stop when the system is going to be shutdown, and respawn if it goes away.</p> <p>If you are on Ubuntu 6.10, the syntax is a bit different:</p> <pre> <code> start on runlevel 2 start on runlevel 3 start on runlevel 4 start on runlevel 5 stop on shutdown respawn /usr/sbin/runsvdir-start </code> </pre>
