runit-init

runit-init(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     runit-init(8)

NAME

       init - a UNIX process no 1

SYNOPSIS

       init [ 0 | 6 ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

SEE ALSO

       runit(8), runsvdir(8), runsvchdir(8), sv(8), runsv(8), chpst(8), utmpset(8), svlogd(8)
