<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<simpara>Cinit is an init system. It normally gets started by the operating
|
|
system (Linux, *BSD, …) 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>

|
|
<simpara>cinit is not tested nor documented very well currently.</simpara>
|

<simpara>The porting to other OS is not finished yet (mainly missing

system level binaries: shutdown, reboot, halt).</simpara>
|
|
|
|
<simpara>Both is work in progress.</simpara>
