README for the System V style init, version 2.86
|
||||
|
||||
init, shutdown, halt, reboot, wall, last, mesg, runlevel,
|
||||
killall5, pidof, sulogin.
|
||||
|
||||
All programs, files and scripts in this package are covered by
|
||||
the Gnu Public License, and copyrighted by me.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not using Debian and the debianized package,
|
||||
you will have to install the new init by hand. You should
|
||||
be able to drop the binaries into a Slackware or Redhat
|
||||
system, I think.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of preferred directories to install the progs & manpages:
|
||||
|
||||
wall.1, last.1, mesg.1 /usr/man/man1
|
||||
inittab.5, initscript.5 /usr/man/man5
|
||||
init.8, halt.8, reboot.8,
|
||||
shutdown.8, powerd.8,
|
||||
killall5.8, pidof.8,
|
||||
runlevel.8, sulogin.8 /usr/man/man8
|
||||
|
||||
init /sbin/init
|
||||
inittab /etc/inittab
|
||||
initscript.sample /etc/initscript.sample
|
||||
telinit a link (with ln(1) ) to init, either
|
||||
in /bin or in /sbin.
|
||||
halt /sbin/halt
|
||||
reboot a link to /sbin/halt in the same directory
|
||||
killall5 /sbin/killall5
|
||||
pidof a link to /sbin/killall5 in the same directory.
|
||||
runlevel /sbin/runlevel
|
||||
shutdown /sbin/shutdown.
|
||||
wall /usr/bin/wall
|
||||
mesg /usr/bin/mesg
|
||||
last /usr/bin/last
|
||||
sulogin /sbin/sulogin
|
||||
bootlogd /sbin/bootlogd
|
||||
utmpdump don't install, it's just a debug thingy.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already _have_ a "wall" in /bin (the SLS release had, for example)
|
||||
do _not_ install this wall. Chances are that the wall you are already
|
||||
using is linked to /bin/write. Either first _remove_ /bin/wall before
|
||||
installing the new one, or don't install the new one at all.
|
||||
|
||||
You might want to create a file called "/etc/shutdown.allow". Read the
|
||||
manual page on shutdown to find out more about this.
|
||||
|
||||
Running from a read-only file system (CDROM?):
|
||||
o All communication to init goes through the FIFO /dev/initctl.
|
||||
There should be no problem using a read-only root file system
|
||||
IF you use a Linux kernel > 1.3.66. Older kernels don't allow
|
||||
writing to a FIFO on a read-only file system.
