+[I] runit - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision
+
+[T] runit is a daemontools alike replacement for SysV-init and other init
+[T] schemes. It currently runs on GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and can easily
+[T] be adapted to other Unix operating systems. runit implements a simple
+[T] three-stage concept. Stage 1 performs the system's one-time initialization
+[T] tasks. Stage 2 starts the system's uptime services (via the runsvdir
+[T] program). Stage 3 handles the tasks necessary to shutdown and halt or
+[T] reboot.
