runit
init - a UNIX process no 1
init [ 0 | 6 ]
runit-init
is the first process the kernel starts. If runit-init is started as process
no 1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).
If runit-init is started
while the system is up, it must be either called as init 0 or init 6:
- init
0
- tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal
runit(8) the system halt request, runit-init removes all permissions of
the file /etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission
of the file /etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to
runit(8).
- init 6
- tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the
system. To signal runit(8) the system reboot request, runit-init sets the
execute by owner permission of the files /etc/runit/reboot and /etc/runit/stopit
(chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).
runit-init
returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
