Installing daemontools in centos

centos_daemontools.txt

1. Install wget gcc and wget
    yum install gcc wget

2. Create a folder setup and wget the source
   mkdir -p /package
   chmod 1755 /package
   cd /package
   wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
   tar -xzvf daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
   rm daemontools-0.76.tar.gz
   cd daemontools-0.76

3. Install the daemontools
   echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > src/conf-cc
   ./package/install
  
4. Fix Deamontools for CentOS 6.x. To do that simply remove the added line from /etc/inittab then issue this:
    echo "start on runlevel [12345]" > /etc/init/svscan.conf
    echo "respawn" >> /etc/init/svscan.conf
    echo "exec /command/svscanboot" >> /etc/init/svscan.conf
   
5. Start svscan
    initctl reload-configuration
    initctl start svscan
    
6. That’s it. Now you can check it using command below:
    ps -ef|grep svscan

7. Creating services see this http://isotope11.com/blog/manage-your-services-with-daemontools

8. Daemontools chef cookbook for centos https://github.com/CPAN-API/prepan-cookbooks/tree/master/site-cookbooks/daemontools

Can you add this line : cd admin/daemontools-0.76 after rm daemontools-0.76.tar.gz

otherwise, people who follow steps will be misdirected.

Thank you.

Thank you, very helpful. Need a cd daemontools-0.76 command to navigate to the extracted directory after rm daemontools-0.76.tar.gz though but appreciate that
