Cleaned up some output from readbootlog.
Added -e flg to bootlogd. When -e is used, data saved
to the boot log file does not have escape characters
removed. This means colour and cursor movement codes
stay in the log file. The may then look nicer when
read with "less -R', but may appear cluttered or
out of alignment when viewed with other, plain-text tools.
can happen without a near-full-second delay after
all processes have terminated. Replaced do_sleep()
with do_msleep(), provided by Serge Belyshev.
Replaced hardwired sleep constants in init.c with
defined constants for easy updating in the future.
could be used to print information from memory or crash
pidof. Replaced flag with "-d" which allows for a custom
separator to be used between listed PIDs.
Patch supplied by KatolaZ.
It starts as a NULL pointer, then might get set as a pointer to optarg,
then it might get set to point to an argv parameter, then it might have
a string value copied into it, over-writing the original data. We should
not risk over-writing internal variables which might get used for something
else (it's rude and security risk). Set up "when" as its own buffer
that has data from optargs and/or argv copied into it.
Minor code fixes across multiple source files to avoid buffer
overflows, or uninitialized strings.
the command now passes the "-h -P" flags to shutdown. This
in turn sets the INIT_HALT environment variable to POWEROFF.
Assuming this value is checked by initscripts during the
shutting down procedure, it should cause the system to
be powered off.
If halt is called without -p then the value of INIT_HALT
is not set and the default action (often set in /etc/defaut/halt)
is taken.
produced by bootlogd. The output is displayed cleaned up so there
are no control characters. This avoids the need to use sed or related
tools to try to clean up the contents of the log.
Closes Debian bugs #815839, #905245 and #890478
Added -f <format> option to pidof program to allow printf
style formating.
Closes Debian bug #571590
Thanks to Philipp Marek for the patch.
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.)
message appear less often. The -q flag causes messages to only appear at the
10 minute, 5 minute and x-hour intervals.
The -Q flag maintains complete silence up until the final "now" warning.
