Created attachment 901954 [details] Updated OpenRC script with support for using supervise-daemon. The boinc_client program itself needs no special handling to run correctly under a process supervision tool like the supervise-daemon program provided as part of OpenRC. Despite this, the current OpenRC init script for sci-misc/boinc hard-codes usage of start-stop-daemon and thus does not support running boinc_client like this without user modification of the init script. I’ve attached a modified copy of the existing OpenRC init script to this bug that includes the changes I’m currently using to run boinc_client under process supervision. They just require the user to set `supervisor="supervise-daemon"` in `/etc/conf.d/boinc`, and preserve existing behavior if that is not set. I’ve been using these modifications for roughly six weeks now without issues.
