SysVinit Description

SysVinit's primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab. SysVinit's primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab.What's New in This Release:· Fixed up bootlogd to read /proc/cmdline. Also keep an internal linebuffer to process r, t and ^H. It is becoming useable.· Applied trivial OWL patches· Block signals in syslog(), since syslog() is not re-entrant· Minor adjustements so that sysvinit compiles on the Hurd · killall5 now skips kernel threads· Inittab entries with both 'S' and other runlevels were broken.· Changed initreq.h to be more flexible and forwards-compatible.· You can now through /dev/initctl set environment variables in init that will be inherited by its children. For now, only variables prefixed with INIT_ can be set and the maximum is· 16 variables. There's also a length limit due to the size of struct init_request, so it should be safe from abuse.· Option -P and -H to shutdown set INIT_HALT=POWERDOWN and INIT_HALT=HALT as environment variables as described above· Add "mountpoint" utility.· Slightly better algorithm in killall5.c:pidof()· Added some patches from fedora-core (halt-usage, last -t, sulogin-message, user-console)
