I’m working on an #OpenWRT project and I’m wondering : what’s the proper way to ensure a service is kept running ? I’m used to rely on systemd for that, but on this platform there’s just old-school #SystemV hacks and rc.local magic, like in the good old Debian Potato days.
Am I supposed to use #Cron for that ? Please tell me I’m not supposed to run an infinite loop in an `rc.local`…
