Added ability to use "@" symbol in command named in the inittab file. This
treats commands as literal and does not launch a shell to interpret them.
Updated inittab manual page to include overview of symbols which trigger
a shell interpretor and how to disable them using the @ symbol.
Cleaned up some output from readbootlog.
Added -e flg to bootlogd. When -e is used, data saved
to the boot log file does not have escape characters
removed. This means colour and cursor movement codes
stay in the log file. The may then look nicer when
read with "less -R', but may appear cluttered or
out of alignment when viewed with other, plain-text tools.
can happen without a near-full-second delay after
all processes have terminated. Replaced do_sleep()
with do_msleep(), provided by Serge Belyshev.
Replaced hardwired sleep constants in init.c with
defined constants for easy updating in the future.
as LILO is rarely used outside of the Slackware family these days.
Switched stty flags to use ECHOE instead of ECHOPRT. This should
give smoother, more natural backspac-erase behaviour on emergency
consoles. (Created in init -b mode.)
init will try to open its own console. If not, then any console=
parameters will be ignored. This avoids conflicts with native kernel
created consoles.
This information can be read by the "runlevel" command as well as "halt"
and "reboot". Having the information logged in /var/run/runlevel as
well as the utmp file means systems without utmp (like those running
the musl C library) can still check the current runlevel. This is
useful when running halt/reboot as these programs want to check the
runlevel.
Updated the changelog, and manual pages for halt and runlevel.
approaches are tried in order to prevent warnings from GCC 7 (and newer).
Added includes on Linux for sys/sysmacros.h as the old defines in
the sys/types.h file will be removed in the future.
it closes (and leaves closed) the named pipe /run/initctl. This
can be used to make sure init does not have any files open. However,
it also means we cannot switch run levels or bring down the system.
The pipe can be re-opened by sending init the SIGUSR1 signal.
Updated the man pages for initctl and init to include this information.
Fixed typo in accidental wrote_wtmp_rlevel == 0 || wrote_wtmp_rlevel
comparison so the latter is wrote_utmp_rlevel.
Simplified logic in mountpoint.c when testing for same device or same inode.
Thanks to David Binderman for pointing out the above three issues.
patch was supplied by Robert Millan from Debian. FreeBSD apparently does not
like named piped in /dev, so we move it to /run for better cross-platform
compatibility.
The feature is useful for developers and admins that occasionally need
to boot with e.g. console=ttyS0.
The built in default can be overridden via inittab for each device. An
entry like "S0::off:" turns off the getty on ttyS0.
and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current sulogin
is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish encrypted
passwords due using getpwnam(3).
* Enable the sulogin fallback password check to handle MD5, SHA, and
Blowfish encrypted passwords in case of getpwnam(3) fails.
is specified by /etc/pam.d/init
* Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to
use the correct pid even on a controlling tty
* Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for
getting a controlling tty isn't that reported by spawn()
* Re-enable writting utmp/wtmp for boot scripts
* Provide a simply /etc/pam.d/init as without it will not work (sigh!)
* Add helper program fstab-decode to make it easier to handle
/etc/mtab content. Patch by Miloslav Trmac and Fedora.
* Add fix for Debian bug #335023 - Make sure TERM is set on FreeBSD.
* Add fix for Debian bug #374038 - Make it clear that shutdown -c can
only cancel a waiting shutdown, not an active one.
* Add not to pidof manual page about the use of readlink(2). Patch by
Bill Nottingham and Fedora.
* Add changes for Debian bug #68621 - Add PAM support for programs spawned
by init on the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen.
