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.)

c45219c64f Added -q and -Q flags to shutdown command to make the "system is going down"
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.

display usernames longer than 8 characters long.

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.

b4f8539153 Addressed man page documentation to warn the halt -i flag may
not properly shut down a network interface if it has no
valid IP address.

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.

f1ca96e1c1 Added patch from Walter Harms which allows pidof to run without
displaying output. In this mode pidof simply returns true or false
without displaying PID values.

Updated manual page with new -q (quiet) mode.

Added -h flag for pidof, which was recognized before, but not used.
The -h flag now displays brief usage information for pidof.

6e8323e9fb The init process now writes the current runlevel to /var/run/runlevel.
This information can be read by the "runlevel" command as well as "halt"
and "reboot". Having the information logged in /var/run/runlevel as
well as the utmp file means systems without utmp (like those running
the musl C library) can still check the current runlevel. This is
useful when running halt/reboot as these programs want to check the
runlevel.

Updated the changelog, and manual pages for halt and runlevel.

aa80ddcc4b Updated init manual page to make "--version" flag behaviour more clear. 2018-07-01 18:51:31 -03:00

4438de4e50 Added --version flag to init and updated manual page. 2018-06-22 17:04:47 -03:00

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.

01ca5252e8 Added new manual page for the initctl named pipe.

9bbabbfda4 Updated manual page to include -p flag description. 2018-03-08 12:32:50 -04:00
Jesse Smith
8c8172349e Updated mountpoint to search for circular mount points when using
the -p parameter. This works around mountpoint not recognizing
circular mounts where /a/b/c/d and /a/b are the same location
(ie the same device and same inode).
Closes Savannah bug #37114.
