  1. freedt is a reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the
  2. ISC licence, sharing no code with the original implementation.
  3. It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0, envdir,
  4. envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc, svok, svscan,
  5. svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a simple multilog
  6. replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically creating service
  7. directories), anonidentd (an anonymizing identd implementation) and
  8. ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along the lines of recordio). All
  9. the tools include usage messages; for instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a
  10. brief rundown of the options.
  11. Please note that this package is not a drop-in replacement for
  12. daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are
  13. different, and the error messages (and a few of the options) aren't
  14. quite the same.
  15. The recordio script (simple "ratelimit -r" wrapper) was removed
  16. to avoid conflict with net/ucspi-tcp. For the same reason the argv0
  17. was renamed to fargv0.
