Because it's part of a collection of utilities lumped together in
"POSIXness", which is a bunch of shell-scripts setup to emulate many
familiar unix utilities, as well as provide some functionality specific to
LRP/LEAF, such as "svi".
First, start with the "which" command (you can use "type" if which isn't
supported):
# which svi
/usr/sbin/svi
Then, examine /usr/bin/svi, which turns out to be a link to /bin/POSIXness:
# ls -l /usr/sbin/svi
<snip> /usr/sbin/svi -> /bin/POSIXness
A quick glance at /bin/POSIXness, and you'll see that the svi command is in
the POSIXness.linuxrouter file:
case $prog in
<snip>
help|lrpkg|mount.boot|mount.back|svi|update-rc.d)
source $POSIXdir/POSIXness.linuxrouter
$prog "$@" ;;
<snip>
Since POSIXdir is set to /lib/POSIXness, the svi command is in
/lib/POSIXness/POSIXness.linuxrouter...take a look at that file, and you'll
see the actual command is defined as:
svi () { #usr/sbin
singlefilearg "/etc/init.d/$1"
/etc/init.d/$@
}
As you can see, there's not a lot too it. The singlefilearg command is
defined in /bin/POSIXness, and checks to make sure the file /etc/init.d/$1
exists...if it does, the appropriate init.d script is run, with any
arguments to svi passed as parameters to the init.d script (see the [b]ash
man page for details on expansion of $@ ).
