Rewrite the core parts in C. We now provide librc so other programs can query runlevels, services and state without using bash. We also provide libeinfo so other programs can easily use our informational functions. As such, we have dropped the requirement of using bash as the init script shell. We now use /bin/sh and have strived to make the scripts as portable as possible. Shells that work are bash and dash. busybox works provided you disable s-s-d. If you have WIPE_TMP set to yes in conf.d/bootmisc you should disable find too. zsh and ksh do not work at this time. Networking support is currently being re-vamped also as it was heavily bash array based. As such, a new config format is available like so config_eth0="1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8/16" or like so config_eth0="'1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0' '5.6.7.8 netmask 255.255.0.0'" We will still support the old bash array format provided that /bin/sh IS a link it bash. ChangeLog for baselayout-1 can be found in our SVN repo. 2007-04-05 11:18:42 +00:00			`# you should set it to "local".`
Move /etc/conf.d/rc to /etc/rc.conf. Lowercase all configurable variables, non configurations remain uppercase. Replace rc_env_bool with rc_yesno. Split localmount info procfs (Linux) and dumpon, savecore (BSD) 2007-11-23 12:04:11 +00:00			`clock="UTC"`

hwclock: fix comments about the usage of clock_hctosys The clock_hctosys variable should be set to YES if you are not using NTP to synchronize your system time; it doesn't have anything to do with the kernel configuration. 2014-08-10 13:00:39 -05:00			`# and using NTP to synchronize your system clock.`
hwclock: Clarify documentation The clock_hctosys and clock_systohc settings really do not have anything to do with running an ntp daemon, so remove that reference from the documentation.

hwclock: set the hardware clock on shutdown Previously, the default on linux systems was to not set the hardware clock to match the system clock during shutdown. This changes that default to be consistent with *bsd and swclock. 2012-02-17 15:02:10 -06:00			`# If you do not want to set the hardware clock to the current system`
