It +simplifies a corresponding task capable of being performed by cron(8) by +not requiring scripts to be run from a cron tab that in turn checks for +the *.pid files of services to determine whether they are running, but +instead uses procfs to determine if they are running or not. The +configuration file is simple and easily setup. + +Note: version 0.2.0 and up have a slightly different configuration file +format and any previous configuration file from version 0.1.0 should +be updated accordingly. - Walt walt@erudition.net >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
