  }
}

Steps to Reproduce

Use the above configuration

Expected Result

Install the recipe correctly and have kafka managed by runit.

Actual Result

Chef-client crashes with the following error:

The following init options don't contemplate runit but I found several places in the code base that reference runit support.
