SYNOPSIS: Install and use daemontools-0.76 and ucspi-tcp-0.88 |

DESCRIPTION: Since the BLFS Book has dropped support for daemontools and |
|---|
| 10 |
ucspi-tcp, I'm maintaining the install instructions at my |
|---|
| 11 |
website. I have added usage examples of my own. |

PREREQUISITES: A working Unix system with the usual development tools. |

HINT: |
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 |
DJ Bernstein's daemontools suite offers a very convenient way of starting |
|---|
| 19 |
and controlling daemons. The package includes other highly useful tools like |
|---|
| 20 |
multilog, which does automatic log rotation, or setlock, which can be used |
|---|
| 21 |
in shell scripts to ensure that only a single instance of a program is running. |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
The ucspi-tcp suite contains tcpserver, a secure replacement for inetd, |
|---|
| 24 |
as well as several other useful net-tools. |
|---|
| 25 |

| 26 |
The BLFS book has dropped support for daemontools and ucspi-tcp, so I |
|---|
| 27 |
maintain an updated version of the last install instructions at: |
