Runparts & `/etc/rc.local`
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the boot, when all bootstrap (`S`) tasks and services have
|
||||
started, but not networking, Finit calls its built-in [run-parts(8)][]
|
||||
command on any configured `runparts <DIR>` directory. This happens just
|
||||
before changing to the configured runlevel (default 2). (Networking is
|
||||
enabled just prior to changing from single user mode.)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
runparts /etc/rc.d/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Right after the runlevel change when all services have started properly,
|
||||
`/etc/rc.local` is called.
|
||||
|
||||
No configuration stanza in `/etc/finit.conf` is required for `rc.local`.
|
||||
If it exists and is an executable shell script Finit calls it at the very
|
||||
end of the boot, before calling the `HOOK_SYSTEM_UP`. See more in the
|
||||
[Hook Scripts](plugins.md#hooks) section.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 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:
|
||||
|
||||
- `initctl cond`: only operate on 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
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> you can set a `usr/` condition in `/etc/rc.local` and have a
|
||||
> service/task in runlevel 2 depend on it to execute.
