<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<simpara>Cinit is an init system. It normally gets started by the operating
system (Linux, *BSD, &#8230;) directly after the kernel has been loaded.</simpara>
<simpara>Cinit uses parallel execution of services as far as possible. To
ensure the correct boot order you need to specify which service
<emphasis>needs</emphasis> or <emphasis>wants</emphasis> another service. The resulting dependency tree
is used at startup to determine which service to start when.</simpara>
<simpara>This may result in different boot orders depending on whether
one service is one time faster or slower. Due to the dependencies
this is not a problem, but allowed and wished per design.</simpara>
<simpara>For more information refer to the texinfo or html documentation.</simpara>
