Krcstat is a graphic replacement for the Gentoo rc-status and rc-update command line utilities.It can be used to check all your services are active and generate an alert if they are not. You may easily create new runlevels and drag services from the Services pane into them. (Alternate runlevels may be specified by using the softlevel parameter on the kernel command line in Grub or Lilo.) Note that the active monitoring for a failed service only works if the service script uses the "start-stop-daemon" command which records the process name. Not all scripts use this, e.g. apache2. Other services are simply checks that run once and do not start a daemon. Krcstat is a bit conservative and will not let you delete the boot or default runlevels or certain boot services deemed as critical. This is to stop you rendering your system unbootable! To use its configuration features it must run as root; if you only want to monitor services, it can be run as a user. This latest version is upgraded to use KDE 4.* and also supports Gentoo Baselayout Release 2.

Created attachment 227101 [details] New ebuild for updated version KrcStat was updated too 0.6.1 to fix some small bugs.
version 0.7.2 in tree, enjoy
Great work, thanks very much!
Created attachment 265097 [details] New ebuild to fix regression Nasty regression causes a segfault if a removed package leaves an orphaned symlink under /etc/runlevels. Immediate update highly recommended.
Already in tree.
