Sysvinit First, apply a patch that removes several programs installed by other packages, clarifies a message, and fixes a compiler warning: patch -Np1 -i ../&sysvinit-consolidated-patch; Compile the package: make -C src This package does not come with a test suite. Install the package: make -C src install Move files that have a name conflict with so that both packages can be installed side-by-side: for p in init halt poweroff reboot runlevel shutdown telinit; do mv -v /sbin/$p /sbin/$p-sysv mv -v /usr/share/man/man8/$p.8 /usr/share/man/man8/$p-sysv.8 done Installed programs bootlogd, fstab-decode, halt, init, killall5, poweroff (link to halt), reboot (link to halt), runlevel, shutdown, and telinit (link to init) Short Descriptions bootlogd Logs boot messages to a log file bootlogd fstab-decode Run a command with fstab-encoded arguments fstab-decode halt Normally invokes shutdown with the -h option, except when already in run-level 0, then it tells the kernel to halt the system; it notes in the file /var/log/wtmp that the system is being brought down halt init The first process to be started when the kernel has initialized the hardware which takes over the boot process and starts all the proceses it is instructed to init killall5 Sends a signal to all processes, except the processes in its own session so it will not kill the shell running the script that called it killall5 poweroff Tells the kernel to halt the system and switch off the computer (see halt) poweroff reboot Tells the kernel to reboot the system (see halt) reboot runlevel Reports the previous and the current run-level, as noted in the last run-level record in /var/run/utmp runlevel shutdown Brings the system down in a secure way, signaling all processes and notifying all logged-in users shutdown telinit Tells init which run-level to change to telinit
