Now I migrate my company repo from SVN to GIT, and we decise migrate 
only source code without history. So, migrating source code, i think, to 
github not need a lot of time.

I'm planning replace start-stop-daemon to more functional process. 
Starting services with new, named new-start-stop-daemon,  extend 
functionality to registering, monitoring and user friendly services 
management.

Now basic SysV init don't provide any service management interface - 
debian have update.rc scripts, rhel chkconfig/ntsysv. We can add our 
interface with much more functionality.

I'll present my vision in next dwo weeks with working code.
