Built-in Conditions
|

-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Finit comes with a `pidfile` and `netlink` plugin. When enabled, the
|
||||
`pidfile` plugin watches `/var/run/` (recursively) for PID files created
|
||||
by the monitored services, and sets a corresponding condition in the
|
||||
`pid/` namespace. Similarily, the `netlink` plugin provides basic
|
||||
conditions for when an interface is brought up/down and when a default
|
||||
route (gateway) is set, in the `net/` namespace.

keventd
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel event daemon bundled with Finit is a simple uevent monitor
|
||||
for `/sys/class/power_supply`. It provides the `sys/pwr/ac` condition,
|
||||
which can be useful to prevent power hungry services like anacron to run
|
||||
when a laptop is only running on battery, for instance.
|
||||
|
||||
Since keventd is not an integral part of Finit yet it is not enabled by
|
||||
default. Enable it using `./configuure --with-keventd`. The bundled
|
||||
contrib build scripts for Debian, Alpine, and Void have this enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
This daemon is planned to be extended with monitoring of other uevents,
|
||||
patches and ideas are welcome in the issue tracker.
