|
Configuring cinit - the paths used
|
|
|
|
|
|
Main structure
|
|
---------------
|
|
The base directory under which all configurations are found
|
|
is '/etc/cinit' (changable via conf/cinit_dir).
|
|
|
|
The basic hierarchy is shown below:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
/etc/cinit
|
|
svc -> services (adjustable: conf/svcdir)
|
|
conf -> general configuration (adjustable: conf/confdir)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
The subdirectory 'conf'
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In this directory are general configurations located.
|
|
See below for the list of files that are located in this
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The subdirectory 'svc'
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This directory contains the services. A service is a directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filenams for executable files
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[17:34] hydrogenium:cinit-0.3pre6% ls -l /etc/cinit/svc/init/on
|
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2006-11-16 09:12 /etc/cinit/svc/init/on -> /bin/echo
|
|
[17:34] hydrogenium:cinit-0.3pre6% cat /etc/cinit/svc/init/on.params
|
|
The initial service has been started. (first parameter)
|
|
Some other useful information. (second parameter)
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Name.env
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
The 'env' file contains the environment definition.
|
|
Specify one assignment on each line, containing only "variable=value".
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
[18:00] hydrogenium:% cat /etc/cinit/svc/remote-services/tinydns/on.env
|
|
IP=192.168.42.23

List of executable files
|
|
------------------------
|
|
This list shows you what files are executable for cinit.
|
|
|
|
on / off
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The files `on` and `off` are executed if found within a service
|
|
definition. `on` is called when starting the service, `off`
|
|
is called when stoping it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
conf/panic
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This file will be executed by cinit if it has to panic.
|
|
Panic situation may occur, when there are heavy problems
|
|
like failing memory allocation in core areas. You can
|
|
change the name of the file in the pre-compilation settings
|
|
in `conf/c_panic`.
|
|
|
|
If `conf/panic` is missing and cinit has to panic, a builtin
|
|
panic action will be called (see `conf/sulogin`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
conf/halt
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
`conf/halt` will be called when cinit has shutdown all services
|
|
and wants to halt the system.
|
|
|
|
You can change the name of the file in the pre-compilation settings
|
|
in `conf/c_halt`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
conf/poweroff
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
`conf/poweroff` will be called when cinit has shutdown all services
|
|
and wants to poweroff the system.
|
|
|
|
You can change the name of the file in the pre-compilation settings
|
|
in `conf/c_poweroff`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
conf/reboot
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
`conf/reboot` will be called when cinit has shutdown all services
|
|
and wants to reboot the system.
|
|
|
|
You can change the name of the file in the pre-compilation settings
|
|
in `conf/c_reboot`.
