Linux Init

LINUX INIT
--------------
This is the mother of all other userspace's processes.

Where to find it?
In the util-linux package (to be found at ftp.*.kernel.org) for simpleinit or in the sysvinit package for SysV init.

Probably also in [sunsite|metalab].unc.edu or ftp.debian.org


Title: sysvinit and utilities
Version: 2.78
Entered-Date: 11FEB2000
Description: This is the Linux System V init.
                The source package has the debian build files included.
                This version can be compiled with glibc 2.0.6 and up.

- It exits if UID is != 0 (root)
- It exits if PID != 1 (the first process in Kernel's userspace)
- It check command-line args:
    "single", "-s"      : dfl_level is set to 'S'
    "-a", "auto"        : set environment "AUTOBOOT=YES"
    "-b", "emergency"   : emerg_shell = 1
    "-z"                : ignore -z xxxx
    any of [0-9],[sS]   : dfl_level is set accordingly to that level

- set default environment PATH to "/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin"
- say "@(#) init version 2.89  DATE 26-Mar-2010  miquels@cistron.nl booting" into syslog
- spawn/fork to emergency shell if emerg_shell == 1
- read inittab and configure setting based on the settings stored in INITTAB

 loop forever by doing this stuf:
    1) boot transitions
    2) Read from the init FIFO by calling check_init_fifo():
        2.1) try to create /dev/initctl if not present.
        2.2) If /dev/initctl is open, stat the file to see if it is still the _same_ inode
        2.3) try to open /dev/initctl
        2.4) Read data from the pipe, return on EINTR
        2.5) console_init
        2.6) process requests (e.g., runlevel change request, power fail request, set env)

    3) check the 'failing' flags
    4) process any signal:
        4.1) SIGPWR event/signal
        4.2) SIGINT
        4.3) SIGWINCH
        4.4) SIGALRM
        4.5) SIGCHLD
        4.6) SIGHUP
    5) See whether we need to start up (again)
