Changes
- Refactor
runpartsand/etc/rc.localto no longer block the main
loop, allowinginitctlcalls to interact with Finit. Issue #356 - Refactor the
runstanza to no longer block the main loop, issue #362 - Allow
suloginwith a user different fromroot, issue #357 - Allow disabling invocation of rescue mode from kernel command line
- Add
initctl -fto force-skip asking Finit for existing services
when creating new services during bootstrap, e.g./etc/rc.local initctl runlevelnow returnsN Sinstead ofN 10in bootstrap- Improved logging on failure to
execvp()a run/task/service, now
witherrno, e.g., "No such file or directory" when the command
is missing from$PATH - Add support for Bash completion to
initctl, issue #360 - Handle absolute path to
initctl [enable|disable], not supported - Update
finit.conf(5)man page with the recommended directory
hierarchy in/etc/finit.d/ - The
runpartscode has been split into/libexec/finit/runparts - The
runpartscommand now takes two options:sysvandprogress.
The former ensures onlySNNfooandKNNfooscripts are run. - Add SysV Init Compatibility section to documentation
- Increased MAX path for commands, and arguments: 64 -> 256
- The bundled watchdog daemon no longer tries to log at startup, because
syslog is not available yet, any startup message leak to console
Fixes
- Fix #227: believed to have been fixed in v4.3, the root cause was
actually that Finit was waiting for a process that was no longer in
the system. The fix is to ask the kernel on process-stop-timeout and
replay the lost PID so that Finit can continue with reboot/shutdown - Fix #358: fix inotify events for
/etc/finit.conf, improved log
messages and error handling - Fix #361: cgroup move fail if run/task/services start as non-root.
Regression in the v4.4 release cycle while adding support for the
pre:/post:/ready: scripts. Now the latter scripts also properly run
in their correct cgroup - Fix #366: document
fsck.*kernel command line options and simplify
the configure flags--enable-fsckfixand--enable-fastbootto
only adjust the default values for thefsck.*options. - The
runpartsexecutor now skips backup files (foo~) - The
runpartsstanza now properly appendsstartto scripts that
start withS[0-9]+. This has been broken for a very long time.
