I haven't had time to resolve this however.
How about on upgrade we symlink /run/initctl → /dev/initctl if /run/initctl does not exist? Programs can therefore be switched to using /run/initctl immediately. On reboot, we can then just create /run/initctl and everything should just work. Does this sound OK, or have I missed something unobvious? Regards, Roger -- .''`.
