init - a UNIX process no 1
runit-init is the first process the kernel starts. If runit-init
is started as process no 1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).
If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be
either called as init 0 or init 6:
- init 0
- tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal
runit(8) the system halt request, runit-init removes all
permissions of the file /usr/local/etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and
sets the execute by owner permission of the file
/usr/local/etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent
to runit(8).
- init 6
- tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system. To signal
runit(8) the system reboot request, runit-init sets the
execute by owner permission of the files
/usr/local/etc/runit/reboot and /usr/local/etc/runit/stopit
(chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).
runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
