[1.13] - 2015-06-15
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Support for multiple instances and introduction of an `initctl` tool.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Incompatible change to syntax for custom `inetd` services,
|
||||
c.f. Finit v[1.12].
|
||||
|
||||
### Changes
|
||||
* The most notable change is the support for multiple instances. A must
|
||||
have when running multiple DHCP clients, OpenVPN tunnels, or anything
|
||||
that means using the same command only with different arguments. Now
|
||||
simply add a `:ID` after the `service` keyword, where `ID` is a unique
|
||||
instance number for that service.
|
||||
|
||||
service #1 [2345] /sbin/httpd -f -h /http -p 80 -- Web server
|
||||
service #2 [2345] /sbin/httpd -f -h /http -p 8080 -- Old web server
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for dynamically reloadable `*.conf` files in `/etc/finit.d/`.
|
||||
All `task`, `service` and `run` statements can be used in these .conf
|
||||
files. Use the `telinit q` command, `initctl reload` or simply send
|
||||
`SIGHUP` to PID 1 to reload them. Finit automatically does reload of
|
||||
these `*.conf` files when changing runlevel.
|
||||
* Support for a modern `initctl` tool which can stop/start/reload and
|
||||
list status of all system services. Also, the old client tool used
|
||||
to change runlevel is now also available as a symlink: `telinit`.
|
||||
* Add concept of "jobs". This is a unique identifier, composed of a
|
||||
service and instance number, SVC:ID
|
||||
|
||||
finit <stop|start|reload|restart> JOB
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for *deny filters* in `inetd` services.
|
||||
|
||||
inetd service/proto[@iface,!iface,...] </path/to/cmd | internal[.service]>
|
||||
|
||||
Internal services on a custom port must use the `internal.service`
|
||||
syntax so Finit can properly bind the inetd service to the correct
|
||||
plugin. Here follows a few examples:
|
||||
|
||||
inetd time/udp wait [2345] internal -- UNIX rdate service
|
||||
inetd time/tcp nowait [2345] internal -- UNIX rdate service
|
||||
inetd 3737/tcp nowait [2345] internal.time -- UNIX rdate service
|
||||
inetd telnet/tcp@*,!eth1,!eth0, nowait [2345] /sbin/telnetd -i -F -- Telnet service
|
||||
inetd 2323/tcp@eth1,eth2,eth0 nowait [2345] /sbin/telnetd -i -F -- Telnet service
|
||||
inetd 222/tcp@eth0 nowait [2345] /sbin/dropbear -i -R -F -- SSH service
|
||||
inetd ssh/tcp@*,!eth0 nowait [2345] /sbin/dropbear -i -R -F -- SSH service
|
||||
|
||||
Access to telnet on port `2323` is only possible from interfaces
|
||||
`eth0`, `eth1` and `eth2`. The standard telnet port (`23`) is
|
||||
available from all other interfaces, but also `eth2`. The `*`
|
||||
notation used in the ssh stanza means *any* interface, however, here
|
||||
`eth0` is not allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** This change breaks syntax compatibility with Finit v[1.12].
|
||||
* Support for a more user-friendly configure script rather than editing
|
||||
the top Makefile, or setting environment variables at build time.
|
||||
* Support for building Finit statically, no external libraries. This
|
||||
unfortunately means that some plugins cannot be built, at all. Thanks
|
||||
to James Mills for all help testing this out!
|
||||
* Support for disabling the built-in inetd server with configure.
|
||||
* Support for two new hook points: `HOOK_SVC_RECONF` and
|
||||
`HOOK_RUNLEVEL_CHANGE`. See the source for the exact location.
|
||||
* The `include <FILE>` option now needs an absolute path to `FILE`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixes
|
||||
* Rename `patches/` to `contrib/` to simplify integration in 3rd party
|
||||
build systems.
|
||||
* Fix for unwanted zombies ... when receiving SIGCHLD we must reap *all*
|
||||
children. We only receive one signal, but multiple processes may have
|
||||
exited and need to be collected.

A built-in *Internet Super Server* support was added in Finit v1.12,

along with an internal `time` inetd service, RFC 868 (rdate). The

latter is supplied as a plugin to illustrate how simple it is to extend
