+N.B. You probably only want to install this package if you aready run qmail.
+
+daemontools is a collection of tools for managing UNIX services.
+
+supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the
+service if it dies. Setting up a new service is easy: all supervise
+needs is a directory with a run script that runs the service.
+
+multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally
+timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines
+matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit the
+amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and tries
+again, without losing any data.
+
+Also included are svscan (starts one supervise process for each
+service), svscanboot (run by init to start svscan in the /service
+directory), readproctitle (show error messages in ps o/p) and many
+others. See the home page for a list and for documentation.
+
+daemontools was written by D. J. Bernstein.
+
+N.B. Installing this package creates the 3 top-level directories
+     /command, /package & /service. If any of these exist already,
+     you need to consider your options.
+
+----------------------------
+
+If you build with
+
+  EDIT_INITTAB=yes ./daemontools.SlackBuild
+
+the following 2 items also apply:-
+
+N.B. Installing this package modifies /etc/inittab.
+N.B. Installing this package starts the svscanboot service,
+     however it won't actually manage anything because there
+     will be no symlinks in /service.
+
+Otherwise, you will have to edit /etc/inittab yourself, as per the instructions
+in README.SBo.
