in the format +hh:mm. This is in addition to the existing formats such as
hh:mm, +m, and "now".
Cleared up compiler warning in dowall which can happen if the
output message is longer than the size limit on the snprintf()
buffer. This is not a bug, a the trucation works, but using a larger
buffer avoids the warning on systems with long user/host names.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
