Good runit resources?

Happy Friday everyone,

This is my topic on this forum, I made an account yesterday so I could thank someone who posted information that helped me a lot. My apologies if I commit and forum faux pas here.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place or places to learn about the runit init system? I've found allot of detailed info about systemd (currently reading "How Linux Works" and "The Linux Bible") but haven't been able to find much on runit, which I am using in Artix.

Any help on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Apart from Artix Wiki, there is also Void Linux Handbook. These are two major documentation sources regarding runit, AFAIK. Moreover, runit mostly depends on its scripts, which you are free to investigate in your installed system.

There's also the original documentation by the runit init developer, Gerrit Pape:

http://smarden.org/runit/

This gives a good overview of the init system, but keep in mind that Artix and Void do implement runit slightly differently.
