+<h1> s6-rc </h1>
+
+<h2> What is it&nbsp;? </h2>
+
+<p>
+ s6-rc is a service manager for
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a>-based
+systems, i.e. a suite of programs that can start and stop
+services, both long-running daemons and one-time
+initialization scripts, in the proper order according to a
+dependency tree. It ensures that long-running daemons are
+supervised by the s6 infrastructure, and that one-time
+scripts are also run in a controlled environment.
