Huh? You seem to have no idea how supervising is usually done. The processes 
are run in foreground as childs of supervising process. If it dies then 
process knows about that.

Of course there are problems like process not supporting foreground run, 
backward compat and tons of others.

No idea. Maybe bind requires network while zebra becomes part of network when 
it's installed? No one started the project means almost everything is 
unknown.
