Without a respawn period setting, the supervisor will give up on
respawning agetty after it is respawned respawn_max times. For most
daemons giving up like this is reasonable, but not for agettys. Agettys
should always be respawned unless they are respawning too fafst,.
If an agetty is respawning faster than 10 times in 60 seconds, this
seems to be too fast.
Since the pid file is internal to us, start moving toward deprecating it
by not requiring the user to specify it.
In the next release, I plan on working on code to start phasing out the
use of a pid file if this is possible.
This is needed in preparation for adding support for a fifo to allow us
to communicate with the supervisor to ask it to signal the child it is
supervising.
This reverts commit 2af0cedd59.
After speaking with Luis Ressel on the Gentoo selinux team, I am reverting
this commit for the following reasons:
- Luis told me that he feels this is not the solution we need to address
the concern with checkpath; I will be working with him on another
solution.
- There are concerns about the way the path variable was handled
and the assert() call.
The path variable should be dynamically allocated using xasprintf
instead of defining a length at compile time. This would eliminate the
need for the assert() call.
- It introduces the definition of _GNU_SOURCE which makes it
easier to introduce portability concerns in the future (see #262).
The pidfile of the supervisor doesn't need to be adjustable by the
service script. It is only used so the supervisor can stop itself when
the --stop option is used.
In start-stop-daemon and rc-schedules, we were printing out a warning if
the nanosleep call was interrupted by a signal, but we did not treat
this as an error situation other than displaying the message, so there
is no need for the message.
These services represent the parts of the keymaps and termencoding
services which saved the settings back to the root file system so they
can be loaded very early in the boot process.
These are needed to allow keymaps and termencoding to run earlier in the
boot sequence.

On Linux, kernel modules should be loaded once during boot, either in an
initramfs or by this service.
This does not change anything other than printing out messages if a
module is loaded more than once.

Health checks are a way to monitor a service and make sure it stays
healthy.
If a service is not healthy, it will be automatically restarted after
running the unhealthy() function to clean up.
You can now schedule a shutdown for a certain time or a cpecific number
of minutes into the future.
When a shutdown is running, you can now cancel it with ^c from the
keyboard or by running "openrc-shutdown -c" from another shell.
Fix the comparison between respawn_count and respawn_max so that
respawn_max = 1 will allow for one respawn. Since respawn_count is
incremented before the comparison, use a 'greater than' comparison
so that respawn will be triggered when respawn_count is equal to
respawn_max.

We do not need to do this any longer since all supported linux kernels
make efivarfs immutable and the tools that manipulate it are aware of
this feature.
This fixes https://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues/238.
