     Runit tools in busybox - up to the task?

    Let's test busybox's runit applets in a hypothetical ;) scenario
    when someone needs to stop running, say, systemd on, say, a Fedora machine.

    No doubt this will expose various shortcomings.

To me, This just seems like a fun experiment to demonstrate busybox's capabilities.
