Oh yes please! That would be really nice. I find daemontools a *really*
nice way to start, monitor and log services on a system. Automatically
restarts services that exited (if you want that), easy and reliable
signalling: no more finding out the PID of a process (*no* PID-files
are necessary) and each time a service is started (either manually or
automatically) it gets the same, clean, process state: environment
variables, resource limits, controlling ttys, etc.

If smbd and nmbd could be made to output all logging and errors to stdout
and/or stderr and stay in the foreground, that would be *really* great.

Thanks in advance!
