Hello,
A new version of the s6-linux-init-package is out. * s6-linux-init-1.0.0.0 --------------------- - It is a complete rewrite, and very different from the 0.4 series. - The s6-halt, s6-poweroff and s6-reboot commands have disappeared. - The s6-linux-init-maker remains; it has the same goals, but many options have changed. - New commands, all prefixed with s6-linux-init-, have appeared. - The binaries, except s6-linux-init-maker, are not meant to be used directly. Instead, they are used in scripts produced by a s6-linux-init-maker invocation. - Some of these generated scripts are named: init, telinit, halt, poweroff, reboot, shutdown. Those are the new public interface to be used at boot time (they can be copied to /sbin if the user is satisfied with them). They follow the sysvinit and LSB interfaces. The output of s6-linux-init-maker can now be used as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit in a distribution following these interfaces. - runlevel support and utmp support has been added. - Hooks to the service manager are provided via user-editable scripts: rc.init, runlevel, and rc.shutdown. - Please check the documentation for details. When rebooting after upgrading from a 0.4 version of s6-linux-init to 1.0.0.0: the s6-reboot command, which is needed for the old shutdown procedure, may not be accessible via PATH anymore. Make sure to have (a copy of) s6-reboot available in your PATH; you can remove it after rebooting on the new system. https://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-init/ git://git.skarnet.org/s6-linux-init Enjoy, Bug-reports welcome. -- Laurent
