It doesn't have to be a script, but it does have to be written to match a specific set of rc scripts (the rc scripts are the shell part of the init system; there's OpenRC, the LFS init scripts, the Debian init scripts, the old RedHat init scripts, upstart and systemd implementions, Slackware init scripts, and probably several more I'm not aware of). > > It makes little sense to include it in toybox when the only init we have > > is oneit; even when init gets out of pending, implementing service in > > toybox would be hard-coding a requirement about how the rc scripts work. > > We certainly couldn't implement the rc scripts in toybox, since > > they are scripts. > > > > A google search turns up zilch on oneit. Is there a website for it? No. It's toys/other/oneit.c (in the toybox tree).
