Joachim Nilsson 077a7e82e0 Debian now boots to X!
finit.conf:
        Use this as /etc/finit.conf on a Debian 6.0 based system with X
        installed and sysklogd instead of rsyslogd.  Works.

services:
        Alternative method for extending the finit boot procedure. Simply
        place this script file in an /etc/finit.d/ directory.  The script
        uses the standard run-parts tool to chain load other start scripts.

helpers.c:
        o New functions:
          - run(): home grown system() replacement
          - run_interactive(): display progress and status when called

        o Bugfix start_process(), make sure to use same signal setup for
          children as in run() and run_interactive(). Also, use execvp()
          instead of execv() to allow searching $PATH for executables.

finit.h:
        o Move signal specific code to new signal.h.
        o Bypass verbosity setting to let echo() always print to screen.

finit.c:
        o Make run_parts() the default, remove external deps, it works.

        o Use run() and run_interactive() to speed up execution further
          on embedded systems where forking is expensive.

        o Kernel cmdline "quiet" should not close STDIO since this makes
          it impossible to run some daemons and start scripts.  Instead,
          we let "quiet" toggle the finit verbosity setting.

        o Remove kernel cmdline "--verbose" (Upstart compat), to be used
          to enable verbose finit when kernel should be quiet.

        o Setup kernel specific settings in /etc/sysctl.conf

        o Fix D-Bus startup problems. Probably what caused X from not
          working initially. Silly rabbit.

        o Use system() workaround to start X, cannot get it to start
          at all using run() or run_interactive() at the moment.

signal.h:
        New file, header file for signal.c.  Was about time.

signal.c:
        Remove blocking of SIGCHLD from sig_setup(), instead we setup
        SIGCHLD early in sig_init() to handle fork() in run() & C:o.

Joachim Nilsson d21dc2b477 Westermo service starter and supervisor, inspired by daemontools
finit.c:
        o New service and shell_service stanzas for finit.conf
        o Run service_startup() before /etc/finit.d/ hooks
        o Run service_monitor() at end of startup

helpers.c:
        o Several new functions:
          - print_desc() displays a service starting up
          - print_result() shows if service started OK or not
          - start_process() is used by the services framework

svc.c:
        Generic API for managing svc_t structures

ipc.o:
        TIPC based framework for communicating with the service monitor.
        E.g., to relay (re)configuration signals from a Web/CLI
        front-end via finit to one or many setup daemons, and back.

services.c:
        Service monitor framework

strlcpy.c:
        Secure strncpy() replacement from OpenBSD under the free ISC License.
