[SOLVED] Daedalus runit documentation

Another day, another Devuan installation. Today I installed Daedalus with runit as the init system to get to grips with it.

To get an idea of how to manage services, I searched the Devuan websites/forums, but couldn't find much. So I had a look at the Artix and Void websites. Both have all the knowledge I was looking for, but they refer to subdirectories like

/etc/runit/sv/ and /run/runit/service/, which are not present under Devuan Daedalus.

This leads me to wonder what directories Daedalus uses for handling runit services and if there is any Devuan related documentation in regards of runit.

Scraping the filesystem brought up directories like:

- /etc/service
- /etc/runit/runsvdir

If you search this forum for 'runit' you will get a lot of hits. This one is probably a good place to start. Lorenzo is the Debian maintainer for runit.
