NAME
|
|
----
|
|
cinit - fast executing, small and simple init with support for profiles
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'cinit' [cprofile:name_of_profile]
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Cinit is an init system. It normally gets started by the operating
|
|
system (Linux, *BSD, ...) directly after the kernel has been loaded.
|
|
|
|
Cinit uses parallel execution of services as far as possible. To
|
|
ensure the correct boot order you need to specify which service
|
|
'needs' or 'wants' another service. The resulting dependency tree
|
|
is used at startup to determine which service to start when.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For more information refer to the texinfo or html documentation.

|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
cprofile:name_of_profile::
|
|
If specified, cinit will start the named profile instead of the
|
|
standard 'init' service
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
----
|
|
cinit is not tested nor documented very well currently.
|
|
|
|
The porting to other OS is not finished yet (mainly missing
|
|
system level binaries: shutdown, reboot, halt).
|
|
|
|
Both is work in progress.
