I'm putting the finishing touches on my new system, and one area that's always eluded me as far as Linux goes was the Sys V init system. I'm familiar with runlevels, making links that start with "S" or "K" and the run priority, etc, but I know if I sat down and tried to write some good init scripts, it would be an uphill battle.
Does anyone know any good step-by-step primers that cover writing init scripts from scratch? The biggest gaps in my knowledge cover device loading, with and without udev. For that matter, anything that teaches me scriptable ways to make device nodes based on info I find in /sys and /proc when daemons fail to create them would be great. I've done a lot of finding and grepping and voodoo and managed to do this before, but I prefer actually knowing what I'm doing and understand the rhyme and reason that goes into the ever changing /sys filesystem. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
