848ee05104 Updated init manual page to include GRUB in boot loader comment
as LILO is rarely used outside of the Slackware family these days.

Switched stty flags to use ECHOE instead of ECHOPRT. This should
give smoother, more natural backspac-erase behaviour on emergency
consoles. (Created in init -b mode.)

1b659c8ebe Applied patch from Daniel Povey which should allow killall5/pidof to
avoid locking up if it encounters stopped or zombie processes
due to broken NFS mount points.
This should allow Debian bug #719273 to be closed.

d27e34754a Unified shutdown and init to use 3 second wait between SIGTERM and
SIGKILL. Defined this value in init.h (WAIT_BETWEEN_SIGNALS) for
easy modification.
Updated documentation to address Debian bug #375274.

272f112c98 Added new signal handler for SIGUSR2. When init receives SIGUSR2
it closes (and leaves closed) the named pipe /run/initctl. This
can be used to make sure init does not have any files open. However,
it also means we cannot switch run levels or bring down the system.
The pipe can be re-opened by sending init the SIGUSR1 signal.

Updated the man pages for initctl and init to include this information.

aee28b3292 Updated init page to reference the initctl manual page instead of
telling people to read the source code to learn how to use
the /run/initctl named pipe. Updated Makefile to install
the initctl.5 manual page.
