runit (a UNIX init scheme with service supervision)
|
|
|
|
A cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision, a replacement for
|
|
sysvinit, and other init schemes.
|
|
|
|
runit can replace init or its service supervision can be used with traditional
|
|
init. runit is compatible with djb's daemontools.
|
|
|
|
By default, this slackbuild sets-up a basic configuration to replace init with
|
|
runit. To disable this, pass CONFIG=no to the script.
|
|
|
|
To use runit with init, just call it
|
|
/sbin/runsvdir-start &
|
|
|
|
To replace init with runit, reboot and enter init=/sbin/runit-init in the Lilo
|
|
prompt.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you do not have a multi boot system, you may append this line
|
|
in /etc/lilo.conf
|
|
|
|
E.g:
|
|
append="vt.default_utf8=0 init=/sbin/runit-init"
|
|
|
|
Then run lilo:
|
|
# lilo -v
|
|
|
|
Or just replace /sbin/init with /sbin/runit-init
|
|
# mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.sysv
|
|
# cp /sbin/runit-init /sbin/init
|
|
Be warned that if you had booted with the original init, the system may refuse
|
|
to reboot, therefore boot from runit-init first.
|
|
|
|
To migrate a service to runit, switch it off and disable it as usual, place
|
|
an initialisation script called run under a suitably named directory under
|
|
/etc/sv/ and symlink it to /service.
|
|
|
|
E.g.:
|
|
# /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager stop
|
|
# chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager
|
|
# mkdir /etc/sv/networkmanager/
|
|
|
|
Write a script to start the service in /etc/sv/networkmanager/run such as
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
exec NetworkManager -n > /dev/null 2>&1
|
|
|
|
Give it executable permission:
|
|
# chmod +x /etc/sv/networkmanager/run
|
|
|
|
Link it to /service and NetworkManager will start in a few seconds and enabled
|
|
under current runlevel
|
|
# ln -s /etc/sv/networkmanager /service
|
|
|
|
Hint:
|
|
To Reboot:
|
|
# runit-init 6
|
|
To Halt:
|
|
# runit-init 0
|
|
|
|
A /usr/sbin/shutdown shell script has been included with the configuration
|
|
files if you enabled them.
