Hi!
That's really nice and I'm really excited about that repo :)

I think "turnstile" is a suitable option for this purpose. It's designed
in three parts: a PAM module for detecting logins, a Daemon and some
service supervisor loader scripts (backends). Currently it does support
Dinit and Runit as backends but there should not be any problem around
writing a backend for s6-rc. See
https://github.com/chimera-linux/turnstile for project itself and more info.
