+For service supervision with runit:
+
+(1) add scripts into /etc/sv/<service>/run
+
+------------------------------
+Example: /etc/sv/nginx/run   |
+------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+mkdir -p /tmp/nginx
+exec /usr/sbin/nginx
+------------------------------
+Example: /etc/sv/ssh/run     |
+------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e
+ssh-keygen -A
+exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D
+------------------------------
+Example: /etc/sv/tinyssh/run |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+PORT=22
+mkdir -p /etc/tinyssh
+/usr/sbin/tinysshd-makekey /etc/tinyssh/keys 2>/dev/null
+exec tcpserver -HRDl0 0.0.0.0 $PORT /usr/sbin/tinysshd -v -l /etc/tinyssh/sshkeys
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+(2) set permissions:
+
+chmod 700 /etc/sv/<service>/run
+
+(3) symlink the script directory to the service directory:
+
+ln -s /etc/sv/nginx /etc/service/nginx
+
+==========================================================

+The socklog package by the same author can provide logging
+with built in log rotation & also be managed by runit.
