'Geheimnisse' in German
- Dependencies beginning with a '.' (dot) are ignored.
So you can temporary disable a dependency moving it to
want/.name
- Why is the name of the socket "coala"?
Well, coala could mean 'cinit object abstract layer access', but
perhaps it's a much simpler reason.
- cinit will start a little bit faster, if you omit non needed
'wants' and 'needs' dirs, as they need to be scanned, if they
exist
- Currently there is no support to react on 'ctr+alt+del':
1. It is not handled to switch on / off
(Linux: See man 2 reboot and /proc/sys/kernel/ctrl-alt-del)
2. If the kernel handles it and sends signals to cinit
(SIGINT on Linux) they will be ignored.
There is no problem in implementing a handler for this signal,
the only reason why it is not there
(well, a template is in old/sig_special.c) is that noone
could tell me what would be the most senseful thing to handle
ctrl-alt-del. If you can, I'll perhaps integrate it.
- cinit ignores the Keyboard request
Same thing with 'ctr-alt-del': SIGWINCH is sent, but I don't
know what todo when recieving it.
- cinit does not care about its pid
nor does cinit care if it is already running
in serv/cinit.c is a line calling run_init_svc().
If you call that only if getpid() == 1, cinit will behave like sysvinit
Currently cinit has no chance to control whether it's started or
not as /etc/cinit/tmp mounted again for every start.
