runit is none of those things. Well, one tool from that package is
an init replacement, but I'm not interested in that.
My init is just a shell script and I don't need anything
more complicated.

The main part of the runit are daemon-controlling tools runsv,
runsvdir, svlog. If you ever used or read about djb's daemontools,
then I can simply say that those are GPLed replacements of
svscan, supervise, multilog. (And if you never used those:
this is how the setup looks like in my current machine:
