new postulation: process #1 should not rely on conditions that it has not previously ascertained to be true (eg by setting something up by itself, so it exists and is safe to use/rely on it).
sounds self-evident ? sadly many inits do not comply with that postulation, a well known example that comes immediatly to mind is the poorly designed/though out SysV init itself. the poor crap relies on the initctl fifo for ipc, how dumb can one be ?
