---------
* Add support for "runlevel N" to finit.conf
* Improve support for runlevels: startup, running (services from
finit.conf), and shutdown as well as hooks when switching RL,
startup at RL 1 and a default run level.
* Implement initctl stop|start|restart|reload|status <SVC> and
service <SVC> stop|start|restart|reload|status on top
finit.conf), and shutdown as well as hooks when switching RL, startup
at RL 1 and a default run level.
* Implement initctl stop|start|restart|reload|status <SVC> and service
<SVC> stop|start|restart|reload|status on top
* Add PRE and POST hooks for when changing runlevels
* SysV init in Debian uses an rcS.d/ for scripts that should run once
at boot. These scripts are run before the actual runlevel set in
inittab. In finit we could use "task [S]" and "boot [S]" for this.
* SysV init in Debian uses an rcS.d/ for scripts that should run once at
boot. These scripts are run before the actual runlevel, which is set
in inittab. We could use "task [S]" and "run [S]" (below) for this.
* Add support for a new runlevel 'S' that is started before all other
services in the selected runlevel.
@@ -57,18 +57,26 @@ Both the "task" and "boot" stanzas below are like "service", share the
same mechanism for registering callbacks. These callbacks can be used
to check a configuration db and return 1 (RUN), 2 (STOP), or 3 (RELOAD).
* Add support for "task [RUNLVL] ..." similar to services, but
one-shot. Needs a trigger/when
* Add support for "boot [RUNLVL] ..." similar to services, but
waits for completion before continuing with the next line
* Add support for service/task dependencies
* Add support for "task [RUNLVL] ..." similar to services, but one-shot.
* Add support for "run [RUNLVL] ..." similar to task, but waits for
completion before continuing with the next task/service
* Add support for service/task/run dependencies
* Add support for "init list" to show running services
It is tempting to say that a task called at runlevel S would be a
blocking call, like run, but there are likely use-cases when you want to
call on-shot tasks in parallell with something else, even at boot. Hence
the differentiation between "task" and "run", which are essentially the
same, except for the "pause and wait for completion" that "run" has.
Miscellaneous
-------------
* Add support for "init -v,--version | version"
* Cleanup move sources from top-level directory to src/ and include/
* Make sure to install queue.h to $(PREFIX)/include/finit/queue.h
* Move finit.conf "check" command to plugin which checks /etc/fstab
instead. This is the de-facto practise. But keep the check command
for really low-end systems w/o /etc/fstab.
