Services are more than just daemon scripts that can be started and stopped with Shepherd. Services can do more than that; they can extend other services e.g. to add to a configuration file or to set up directories at activation time. If you can come up with a list of things that need to be done to use the rss-bridge web application I’m sure we can figure out together how to implement the service. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
