Configuring cinit - the paths used
Introduction
------------
The base directory under which all configurations are found
is '/etc/cinit'.
The basic hierarchy is shown below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/cinit
svc -> services
conf -> general configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------
General pathnames
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you create something that cinit should execute (like on
starting a service, on stopping a service, on panic, ...), cinit
will recognize the following extensions:
. cinit executions extensions
- 'name' - the file that should be executed
- 'name'.params - the parameter to pass to 'name' when executing
- 'name'.env - the environment to pass to 'name' when executing
Name.params
^^^^^^^^^^^
The 'params' file is a simple file containing one argument on each
line.
Name.env
^^^^^^^^
The 'env' file contains one assignment on each line.
"testvar=testvalue".
The subdirectory 'conf'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this directory are general configurations located.
. The executable files in this directory are:
- panic{.*}
- umount{.*}
The subdirectory 'svc'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This directory contains the services. A service is a directory
which may contain the following files:
. List of files
- on - What to execute when starting the service
* on.env - Environment to pass to 'on'
* on.params - Parameters to pass to 'on'
- off - What to execute when stopping the service
* off.env - Environment to pass to 'on'
* off.params - Parameters to pass to 'on'
- respawn - An empty file that tells cinit to restart the service
when it exits
