The system-init program

+ system-init is a minimal, scripted init to bring up a goetia based system. +

Interface

     system-init

+ system-init takes no arguments. +
+ It makes /dev/console its stdout and stderr. +
+ It reads the environment variable BUNDLE, + which can be specified on the Kernel command line. + If it is undefined, it uses default as the value. +
+ It reads the environment variable PATH, + which can be specified on the Kernel command line. + If it is undefined, it uses + /command:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/libexec:/usr/local/libexec + as the value. +
+ It sets the PATH environment variable to the value + chosen above. +
+ It chdirs to /. +
+ It runs s6-setsid + to become the session leader. +
+ It creates the + runtime directory + if it does not already exist. +
+ It mounts the + runtime directory + tmpfs. +
+ It copies the old system logs from the + system/uncaught-logs + subdirectory of the + log directory + to the + system/ + subdirectory of the + runtime directory + if they exist. +
+ It runs + prepare-svscan + with the proper arguments. +
+ Finally, it executes into + s6-svscan + on the scandir represented by the + system/service + subdirectory of the + runtime directory. +

Exit codes

+ system-init usually executes into + s6-svscan + which exits according to its page. +
+ Since system-init is an + execline + script, it exits with an approximation + of employed program that failed. +
+ system-init mostly uses + execline + and + s6 + software, the exit behaviour of which can be looked up on + their respective pages. +
+ See also: + execline exit code handling. +

Options

+ There are no options to system-init. +

Notes

+ system-init is primarily intended to be used + as an init for an acutal boot process, not for containers. +
