There is the problem. I thought this was included in the latest runit-antix deb, but it must have not.

sudo geany /lib/runit/invoke-depend
Paste this inside:

#!/bin/sh

# runsvdir default if missing
SVDIR="${SVDIR:-/etc/service}"
SERVICE_SOURCE="$(dirname "$SVDIR")/sv"

check_service_name(){
    local SERVICE_NAME="${1}"
    
    # If service name is not valid (empty or with spaces), don't continue
    if [ -z "$SERVICE_NAME" ] || [ $(echo $SERVICE_NAME | grep -c " ") -gt 0 ]; then
        return 1
    fi
}

symlink_dependency(){
    local SERVICE_NAME="${1}"
    local SERV_PATH SV_R_PATH
    SERV_PATH="${SVDIR}/${SERVICE_NAME}"
    SV_R_PATH="${SERVICE_SOURCE}/${SERVICE_NAME}"
    # Check for missing run executable
    if [ ! -e "$SERV_PATH" ] && [ -x "${SV_R_PATH}/run" ]; then
        ln -sf "$SV_R_PATH" "$SERV_PATH"
        sleep 1.5
    fi
}

check_dependency(){
    local SERVICE_NAME="${1}"
    # Check if service already running
    if [ $(sv status "$SERVICE_NAME" | grep -c "^run:") -gt 0 ]; then
		echo "service $SERVICE_NAME is running"
        return 1
    fi
}

start_dependency(){
    local SERVICE_NAME="${1}"
    check_service_name "$SERVICE_NAME" || return 1
    
    check_dependency "$SERVICE_NAME" && sv start "$SERVICE_NAME" || true
}

force_dependency(){
    local SERVICE_NAME="${1}"
    check_service_name "$SERVICE_NAME" || return 1
    
    # Create the dependency symlink if it is missing
    symlink_dependency "$SERVICE_NAME"
    
    start_dependency "$SERVICE_NAME"
    
    # Exit if service fails to be detected
    sv check "$SERVICE_NAME" || exit 170
}

Save and restart your system. The elogind problem should no longer happen anymore.

New runit debs that now include the 2 missing scripts should hit the repos soon

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Though we have a few runit issues remaining, I can happily report that overall it works well, and at least in my use cases, it uses less resources than my other sysvinit build on my system.

Here’s my recently updated configuration (differences, changed from HARD disk to solid state drive (SSD) and different partition order):

Thanks Xecure & anticapitalista,

/lib/runit/invoke-depend arrived with the many updates today.

The modified files /etc/sv/slimski/run /etc/sv/elogind/run were overwritten with the original versions. Seems like everything works well.

You will probably have to edit them again if you experience the same issue. The invoke-depend functions are still experimental, and maybe wont be needed in the future, but for now this is what I use to reliably start service dependencies on antiX runit.
