Why then many people are coming here with "my reboot doesn't work" then? init authors (and I am speaking not only about bbox init, but sysV one too) didn't even manage to come to a coherent solution HOW to signal init! IIRC SysV init has a fifo (!) which you can talk into. How stupid - now suddenly you require a place in fs where that fifo might be created. bbox init uses signals. If I write "portable" reboot (one which does not know what kind of init is on the system), what should I do? Use signals? Or talk to /dev/initctl? Or both? -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
