+svcmon
+======
+Parts of daemontools reimplemented for FreeBSD with kqueue and subreapers.
+
+Why subreapers?
+---------------
+Subreapers let us make sure we don't leave any rouge sub processes when
+we have to restart the daemon.
+
+Why kqueue?
+-----------
+By using kqueue for signalhandling and checking if filedescriptors are
+ready `svcscan` and `svcsupervise` can spend most of it's time blocking
+instead of waking up every few seconds.
