Description:

freedt is a reimplementation of Dan Bernstein's daemontools under the
GNU GPL, sharing no code with the original implementation.

It currently includes feature-equivalent replacements for argv0,
envdir, envuidgid, setlock, setuidgid, softlimit, supervise, svc,
svok, svscan, svstat and recordio. It also includes dumblog (a
simple multilog replacement), mkservice (a script for automatically
creating service directories), anonidentd (an anonymising identd
implementation) and ratelimit (a bandwidth-limiting filter along
the lines of recordio). All the tools include usage messages; for
instance, do "ratelimit -h" for a brief rundown of the options.

Please note that this package is not a drop-in replacement for
daemontools; the internal state files in service directories are
different, and the error messages (and a few of the options)
aren't quite the same. While it's stable enough that the author
(and several other people) are using it, it's also still somewhat
experimental, so the author recommends sticking with daemontools
on production systems until a stable release.
