### Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
It is not possible to call Finit via signals or use `initctl` in any
|
||||
runparts or `/etc/rc.local` script. This because Finit is single
|
||||
threaded and is calling these scripts in a blocking fashion at the end
|
||||
of runlevel S, at which point the event loop has not yet been started.
|
||||
|
||||
The event loop is the whole thing which Finit is built around, except
|
||||
for runlevel S, which remains a slow procession through a lot of set up,
|
||||
with a few hooks and blocking call outs to external scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
However, not all `initctl` commands are prohibited, supported commands:
|
||||
are:
|
||||
|
||||
- `inictl cond`: only operate of files in `/run/finit/cond`
|
||||
- `initctl enable/disable`: enabled run/task/service is activated on
|
||||
the runlevel change from S to 2
|
||||
- `initctl touch/show/create/delete/list`: `create`, provided the
|
||||
non-interactive mode is used, again changes take effect in the
|
||||
runlevel change directly after bootstrap
|
||||
- `initctl -f reboot/poweroff/halt`: provided the `-f` flag is used to
|
||||
force direct kernel commands
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:** you can set a `usr/` condition in `/etc/rc.local` and have
|
||||
a service/task in runlevel 2 depend on it to execute.
