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
/etc/runit/reboot
(chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission of the file
/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
/etc/runit/reboot
and
/etc/runit/stopit
(chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to
runit(8).
EXIT CODES
runit-init
returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
