runit Linux: Guide to Unix Init Scheme with Service Supervision

It's looks absurdly simple, but works very well. (Speaking as a long-term Void Linux user.)

Configuring a new service is also trivially simple.

Dependencies sort of can be handled: you can start (or stop) another service from within your service; runit will retry if your service fails to start due to a dependency not yet running.

I'm a huge fan of Void as well. Surprised it didn't get a mention in the article. I didn't even realize that runit had an existence outside of Void.
