Feel free to take meds and re-invent the wheel when you feel like it.
No problem of course.
Take care.

I'm working on this issue. This may be achievable with just shell script
alone; but I'm looking at something very different from other solutions.

How? In what context? I'm curious.

I have been working on a shell-script prototype that would bring up
services before launching a daemon. It is not complete and I am still
working out the details. If it works, then I will include it as a
"standard feature" of supervision-scripts.

It's only suicidal if you don't have another init system around. I kept
chunks of SysV intact on my home system for that reason, but it defaults to
and starts with runit currently. Since the switch over, I've not needed
SysV beyond looking at what Debian currently does inside of init.d scripts.
