-[3.0][UNRELEASED] - 2016-XX-YY
------------------------------
+[3.0][] - 2017-10-19
+--------------------
+
+Major release, support for conditions/dependencies between services,
+optional built-in watchdog daemon, optional built-in getty, optional
+built-in standard inetd services like echo server, rdate, etc.
+
+Also, native support for Debian/BusyBox `/etc/network/interfaces`,
+overhauled new configure based build system, logging to `/dev/kmsg`
+before syslogd has started, massively improved support for Linux
+distributions.

 ### Changes

+* Added basic code of conduct covenant to project
+* Added contribution guidelines document
+* Removed `finit.conf` option `check DEV`, replaced entirely by automated
+  call to `fsck` for each device listed in `/etc/fstab`
+* Removed deprecated and confusing `startx` and `user` settings.  It is
+  strongly recommended to instead use xdm/gdb/lightdm etc.
+* Add support for `initctl log <SVC>`, shows last 10 lines from syslog
+* Add `initctl cond dump` for debugging conditions
+* Ensure plugins always have a default name, file name
+* Reorganization, move all source files to a `src/` sub-directory
+* Add support for `initctl <list|enable|disable> <SVC>`, much needed by
+  distributions.  See [doc/distro.md](doc/distro.md) for details
+* Remove `UNUSED()` macro, mentioned here because it may have been used
+  by external plugin developers.  Set `-Wno-unused-parameter` instead
+* New table headings in `initctl`, using `top` style inverted text
+* Allow `initctl show` to use full screen width for service descriptions
+* New `HOOK_BANNER` for plugins to override the default `banner()`
+* Allow loading TTYs from `/etc/finit.d`
+* Improvements to built-in getty, ignore signals like `SIGINT`,
+  `SIGHUP`, support Ctrl-U to erase to beginning of line
+* Add TTY `nowait` and `noclear` options
+* Allow using both built-in getty and external getty:  
+
+        tty [12345] /dev/ttyAMA0    115200              noclear vt220
+        tty [12345] /sbin/getty  -L 115200 /dev/ttyAMA0 vt100
+        tty [12345] /sbin/agetty -L ttyAMA0 115200      vt100 nowait
+
+* Silent boot is now the default, use `--enable-progress` to get the old
+  Finit style process progress.  I.e., `--enable-silent` is no more
+* Support for `configure --enable-emergency-shell`, debug-only mode
+* Support for a fallback shell on console if none of the configured TTYs
+  can be started, `configure --enable-fallback-shell`
+* All debug messages to console when Finit `--debug` is enabled
+* Prevent login, by touching `/etc/nologin`, during runlevel changes
+* A more orderly shutdown.  On reboot/halt/poweroff Finit now properly
+  goes to runlevel 0/6 to first stop all processes.
+* Perform sync before remounting as read-only, at shutdown
+* Clean up `/tmp`, `/var/run`, and `/var/lock` at boot on systems which
+  have these directories on persistent storage
+* Call udev triggers at boot, on systems with udev
+* Add missing `/var/lock/subsys` directory for dbus
+* Add support for `poweroff`
+* Add support for a built-in miniature watchdog daemon
+* Remove GLIBC:isms like `__progname`
 * Manage service states based on user defined conditions
 * Manage dependencies between services, w/ conditions (pidfile plugin)
-* Manage service dependenceis on network events (netlink plugin)
+* Manage service dependencies on network events (netlink plugin)
 * Support for dynamically reloading Finit configuration at runtime

+### Fixes
+
+* Fix race-condition at configuration reload due to too low resolution.  
+  Thanks to Mattias Walström, Westermo
+* Fix to handle long process (PID) dependency chains, re-run reconf
+  callback until no more applications are in flux.  
+  Thanks to Mattias Walström, Westermo
+* Clear `reconf` condition when `initctl reload` has finished
+* Skip automatic reload of `/etc/finit.d/*.conf` files when changing
+  runlevel to halt or reboot
+* Fix issue #54: Allow halt and poweroff commands even if watchdog is enabled
+* Fix issue #56: Check existence of device before trying to start getty
+* Fix issue #60: `initctl` should display error and return error code
+  for non-existing services should the operator try to start/stop them.
+* Fix issue #61: Reassert `net/*` conditions after `initctl reload`
+* Fix issue #64: Skip `fsck` on already mounted devices
+* Fix issue #66: Log rotate and gzip `/var/log/wtmp`, created by Finit
+* Fix issue #72: Check `ifup` exists before trying to bring up networking,
+  also set `$PATH` earlier to simplify `run()` et al -- no longer any need
+  to use absolute paths for system tools called from Finit.  Thanks to crazy
+* Fix issue #73: Remove double `ntohl()` in inetd handling, prevents matches.  
+  Thanks to Petrus Hellgren, Westermo
+* Fix issue #76: Reap zombie processes in emergency shell mode
+* Fix issue #80: FTBFS on Arch Linux, missing `stdarg.h` in `helpers.h`,
+  thanks to Jörg Krause
+* Fix issue #81: Workaround for systems w/o SYSV shm IPC support in kernel
+* Always collect bootstrap-only tasks when done, we will never re-run them.
+  Also, make sure to never reload bootstrap-only tasks at runtime
+* Remove two second block (!) of Finit when stopping TTYs

 Introduction
 ------------
+[![License Badge][]][License] [![Travis Status]][Travis] [![Coverity Status]][Coverity Scan]

-Finit is an EeePC inspired Fastinit clone with [process supervision][1]
-similar to that of D.J. Bernstein's [daemontools][2] and Gerrit Pape's
-[runit][3].  The focus of Finit is on small and embedded Linux systems,
-although it is fully usable on server and desktop installations as well.
-See the [contrib section](contrib/) for Debian and Alpine examples.
+Finit is a simple alternative to [SysV init][4] and [systemd][6].  It
+was reverse engineered from the [EeePC fastinit][] ten years ago by
+[Claudio Matsuoka][] — "gaps filled with frog DNA …"

-Traditional [SysV init][4] style systems are scripted.  For low-resource
-embedded systems this is quite resource intensive and often leads to
-long boot times.  Finit reduces context switches and forking of shell
-scripts to provide a swift [system bootstrap](doc/bootstrap.md) written
-entirely in C.
+Focus is on small and embedded systems, although Finit is fully usable
+on server and desktop systems as well.  For working examples, see the
+[contrib/](contrib/) section where both [Debian](contrib/debian/) and
+up to date [Alpine Linux](contrib/alpine/) tutorials can be found.

-Configuration is read from [/etc/finit.conf](doc/config.md#etcfinitconf)
-which details kernel modules to load, services and TTYs to start.  When
-initial [bootstrap](doc/bootstrap.md) is done, including setting up
-networking, [/etc/finit.d/](doc/config.md#etcfinitd) and the familiar
-[/etc/rc.local](#runparts--etcrclocal) are run.
+![Alpine screenshot](images/alpine-screenshot.png)  
+The screenshot shows [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/).

-**Example /etc/finit.conf:**

-```
-    # Fallback if /etc/hostname is missing
-    host wopr
-    
-    # Runlevel to start after bootstrap, runlevel 'S'
-    runlevel 2
-    
-    # Services to be monitored and respawned as needed
-    service [S12345] /sbin/watchdogd -L -f                       -- System watchdog daemon
-    service [S12345] /sbin/syslogd -n -b 3 -D                    -- System log daemon
-    service [S12345] /sbin/klogd -n                              -- Kernel log daemon
-    service   [2345] /sbin/lldpd -d -c -M1 -H0 -i                -- LLDP daemon (IEEE 802.1ab)
-    
-    # For multiple instances of the same service, add :ID somewhere between
-    # the service/run/task keyword and the command.
-    service :1 [2345] /sbin/merecat -n -p 80   /var/www -- Web server
-    service :2 [2345] /sbin/merecat -n -p 8080 /var/www -- Old web server

-    #task [S] /etc/init.d/kbd start            -- Preparing console
+This example `/etc/finit.conf` can also be split up in multiple `.conf`
+files in `/etc/finit.d`.  Available, but not yet enabled, services can
+be placed in `/etc/finit.d/available` and enabled by an operator using
+the [initctl](#commands--status) tool.

+The `service` stanza, as well as `task`, `run`, `inetd` and others are
+described in full in [doc/config.md](doc/config.md).  Here's a quick
+overview of some of the most common components needed to start a UNIX
+daemon:
+
+```
+service [LVLS] <COND> /path/to/daemon ARGS -- Some text
+^       ^      ^      ^               ^       ^
+|       |      |      |               |        `-- Optional description
+|       |      |      |                `---------- Daemon arguments
+|       |      |       `-------------------------- Path to daemon
+|       |       `--------------------------------- Optional conditions
+|        `---------------------------------------- Optional Runlevels
+ `------------------------------------------------ Monitored application
+```
+
+Some components are optional: runlevel(s), condition(s) and description,
+making it easy to create simple start scripts and still possible for more
+advanced uses as well:
+
+    service /usr/sbin/sshd -D
+
+Dependencies are handled using [conditions](doc/conditions.md).  On of
+the most common conditions is to wait for basic networking to become
+available:
+
+    service <net/route/default> /usr/sbin/nginx -- High performace HTTP server
+
+Here is another example where we instruct Finit to not start BusyBox
+`ntpd` until `syslogd` has started properly.  Finit waits for `syslogd`
+to create its PID file, by default `/var/run/syslogd.pid`.
+
+    service [2345] log <svc/sbin/syslogd> /usr/sbin/ntpd -n -N -p pool.ntp.org
+    service [S12345] /sbin/syslogd -n -- Syslog daemon
+
+A service, or task, can have multiple dependencies listed.  Here we wait
+for *both* `syslogd` to have started and basic networking to be up:
+
+    service [2345] log <svc/sbin/syslogd,net/route/default> /usr/sbin/ntpd -n -N -p pool.ntp.org
+
+If either condition fails, e.g. loss of networking, `ntpd` is stopped
+and as soon as it comes back up again `ntpd` is restarted automatically.
+
+**Note:** Make sure daemons *do not* fork and detach themselves from the
+  controlling TTY, usually an `-n` or `-f` flag, or `-D` as in the case
+  of OpenSSH above.  If it detaches itself, Finit cannot monitor it and
+  will instead try to restart it.

 Rebooting & Halting
 -------------------

-Finit is often used on embedded and small Linux systems with BusyBox.
-For compatibility with its existing toolset (halt, poweroff, reboot),
-the following signals have been adopted:
+Traditionally, rebooting and halting a UNIX system is done by changing
+its runlevel.  Finit comes with its own tooling providing: `shutdown`,
+`reboot`, `poweroff`, and `suspend`, but also the traditional `init` and
+`telinit`, as well as a more modern `initctl` tool, detailed in the next
+section.

-* `SIGUSR1`  
-  Same effect as `finit q`, reloads all *.conf files in `/etc/finit.d/`
-* `SIGUSR1`  
-  Calls shutdown hooks, including HOOK_SHUTDOWN, stops all running
-  processes, and unmounts all file systems.  Then tells kernel to
-  halt.  Most people these days want SIGUSR2 though.
+For compatibility reasons Finit listens to the same set of signals as
+BusyBox init.  This is not 100% compatible with SysV init, but clearly
+the more common combination for Finit.  For more details, see
+[doc/signals.md](doc/signals.md).

-  SysV init and systemd use this to re-open their FIFO/D-Bus.
-* `SIGUSR2`  
-  Like SIGUSR1, but tell kernel to power-off the system, if ACPI
-  or similar exists to actually do this.  If the kernel fails
-  power-off, Finit falls back to halt.
- 
-  SysV init N/A, systemd dumps its internal state to log.
-* `SIGTERM`  
-  Like `SIGUSR1`, but tell kernel to reboot the system when done.
- 
-  SysV init N/A, systemd rexecutes itself.
-* `SIGINT`  
-  Sent from kernel when the CTRL-ALT-DEL key combo is pressed.
-  SysV init and systemd default to reboot with `shutdown -r`.  
-  Finit currently forwards this to `SIGTERM`.
-* `SIGPWR`  
-  Sent from a power daemon, like `powstatd(8)`, on changes to the
-  UPS status.  Traditionally SysV init read /etc/powerstatus and
-  acted on "OK", "FAIL", or "LOW" and then removed the file.  
-  Finit currently forwards this to `SIGUSR2`.
-
-Finit also listens to the classic SysV init FIFO, which used to be
-located in `/dev` but these days default to `/run/initctl`.  So existing
-tools like, `poweroff`, `halt`, `reboot`, and `shutdown` work as
-expected.  Support for this old-style handling is implemented in the
-optional `initctl.so` plugin and can be accessed with the traditional
-`telinit` command line tool, symlinked to `finit`.  Hence, if finit is
-your system init, then `init q` will work as the UNIX beards intended.

-Running
-------

-Having successfully [built Finit](doc/build.md) it may now be time to
-take it for a test drive.  The `make install` attempts to set up finit
-as the system system init, `/sbin/init`, but this is usually a symlink
-pointing to the current init.
+Requirements
+------------

-So either change the symlink, or change your boot loader (GRUB, LOADLIN,
-LILO, U-Boot/Barebox or RedBoot) configuration to append the following
-to the kernel command line:
+Finit is capable of running on both desktop/server systems with udev and
+embedded systems that usually come with BusyBox mdev.  Finit probes for
+them at runtime and expects `/dev/` to be writable, usually `devtmpfs`.
+It is also possible to run on a statically set up `/dev` if needed.  It
+is however not a good idea to have both udev and mdev installed at the
+same time, this will lead to unpredictable results.

-```shell
-    init=/sbin/finit
+At boot Finit calls either `mdev` or `udevd` to populate `/dev`, this is
+done slightly differently and on systems with udev you might want to add
+the following one-shot task early in your `/etc/finit.conf`:
+
+```conf
+run [S] /sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=120 -- Waiting for udev
 ```

-Remember to also set up an initial `/etc/finit.conf` before rebooting!
+Finit has a built-in Getty for TTYs, but requires a working `/bin/login`
+or `/bin/sh`, if no TTYs are configured in `/etc/finit.conf`.

-![Finit starting Debian 6.0](images/finit-screenshot.jpg "Finit screenshot")
+For a fully operational system `/var`, `/run` and `/tmp` must be set up
+properly in `/etc/fstab` -- which is iterated over at boot.

-
-Debugging
---------
-
-Add `finit_debug`, or `--debug`, to the kernel command line to enable
-debug messages.  See the output from `configure --help` for more on
-how to assist debugging.
-
-```shell
-    init=/sbin/finit --debug
-```
+The built-in Inetd requires `/etc/services` and `/etc/protocols` to work
+with port names rather than numbers.

+====================================

-Mini HowTo using Finit to boot an Alpine Linux system.  It is assumed

+HowTo use Finit to boot an [Alpine Linux][] system.  It is assumed that
+the user has already installed make, a compiler, C library header files,
 and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.

-To start with you need to first install [libuEv][] and [libite][], by
-default they install to `/usr/local` and Alpine's `pkg-config` does not
-look for libraries and header files there.  So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`
-environment variable has to be used:
+To start with you need to first install [libuEv][] and [libite][].  They
+default to install to `/usr/local`, but unlike Debian and Ubuntu based
+distros, Alpine's `pkg-config` does not look for libraries and header
+files there.  So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` environment variable must be
+used, or change the install prefix to `/usr`.

-    alpine:~/finit# PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure \
-        --enable-rw-rootfs            --enable-x11-common-plugin           \
-        --enable-alsa-utils-plugin    --enable-inetd-echo-plugin           \
-        --enable-inetd-chargen-plugin --enable-inetd-daytime-plugin        \
-        --enable-inetd-discard-plugin --enable-inetd-time-plugin           \
-        --with-heading="Alpine Linux 3.4" --with-hostname=alpine
+The bundled [build.sh](build.sh) script can be used to configure and
+build finit:

-The plugins are optional, but the other configure flags are *not*.
+    alpine:~# cd finit
+    alpine:~/finit# ./contrib/alpine/build.sh

-    alpine:~/finit# make all install
+Then run the [install.sh](install.sh) script to install all necessary
+files, including the sample `finit.conf` and `finit.d/*.conf` files.
+More on that below.

-The installation skips `/sbin/init`, because it already exists, and
-Alpine is hard coded to use it.  So you have to change the symlink
-yourself to point to `finit` instead of `/bin/busybox`.
+    alpine:~/finit# ./contrib/alpine/install.sh
+
+The install script is non-destructive by default, you have to answer
+*Yes* twice to set up Finit as the system default init.  Pay close
+attention to the last question:
+
+    *** Install Finit as the system default Init (y/N)?
+
+If you answer `No`, simply by pressing enter, you can change the symlink
+yourself later on, to point to `finit` instead of `/bin/busybox`:

    alpine:~/finit# cd /sbin
    alpine:/sbin# rm init
    alpine:/sbin# ln -s finit init

 Before rebooting, make sure to set up a [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf),
-and possibly also an [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot set up and
-initialization like keyboard language etc.  You can use the files in
-this directory as templates -- check them both if they need to be
-tweaked for your installation, you may not run Dropbear SSH or speak
-Swedish ...
+and [/etc/finit.d/](finit.d/) for your services.  Samples are included
+in this directory.  Notice the symlinks in `/etc/finit.d/`, which can be
+managed by the operator at runtime using `initctl enable SERVICE`.  You
+can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks and
+initialization like keyboard language etc.

+HowTo use Finit to boot a Debian GNU/Linux system.  It is assumed that

+the very least:

-Also, Finit has only been verified to work with the Debian *Server* ed.
-I.e., during install — skip GNOME and other X stuff to get a plain and
-usable Debian server install, which we can add X-Window to later :-)
-
-Now, I started off by replacing systemd from the base install with the
-old SysV init, using [this HowTo][1], you may not need to do that, but
-for me it was easier — and also a great rebuttal to all the systemd
-haters out there (yeah, even though I speak for the alternative PID 1
-movement I don't hate systemd :P) it is possible to still run Debian
-without systemd!  Anyway, this text was based on that experience.

-The following build and install script can be used to configure, build,
-install and set up your system to run Finit:
+... just make sure to install the following, so `ifup` and other basic
+tools pre-systemd work as intended.

-    debian:~/finit$ contrib/debian/build.sh
+    root@debian:~# apt install initscripts console-setup

-Since `/sbin/init` already exists on your system the script creates
-another entry in your GRUB config, in `/etc/grub.d/40_custom`, where
-`init=/sbin/finit` is added to your kernel line.  You could of course
-also change the `/sbin/init` symlink and uninstall systemd/SysV init if
-everything works fine, but that's up to you.
+The following script can then be used to configure, build, install and

+However, since `/sbin/init` already exists on your system, the script
+creates another entry in your GRUB config, in `/etc/grub.d/40_custom`,
+where `init=/sbin/finit` is added to your kernel line.  It is of course
+also possible to change the default init to Finit, if you do you can
+remove the custom Grub entry:
+
+    user@debian:~/finit# cd /sbin
+    user@debian:/sbin# sudo rm init
+    user@debian:/sbin# sudo ln -s finit init
+
+Before rebooting, check the default [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf) and
+`/etc/finit.d/*.conf` files.  The build + install script above provides
+a few sample `.conf` files. See `initctl list` after boot for a list of
+enabled and available services.
+
+You can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks
+and initialization like keyboard language etc.

 Have fun!

+HowTo: Finit on Void Linux
+==========================
+
+HowTo use Finit to boot an [Void Linux][] system.  It is assumed that
+the user has already installed make, a compiler, C library header files,
+and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.
+
+To start with you need to first install [libuEv][] and [libite][].  They
+default to install to `/usr/local`, but unlike Debian and Ubuntu based
+distros, Void's `pkg-config` does not look for libraries and header
+files there.  So the `PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR` environment variable must be
+used, or change the install prefix to `/usr`.
+
+The bundled [build.sh](build.sh) script can be used to configure and
+build finit:
+
+    void:~# cd finit
+    void:~/finit# ./contrib/void/build.sh
+
+Then run the [install.sh](install.sh) script to install all necessary
+files, including the sample `finit.conf` and `finit.d/*.conf` files.
+More on that below.
+
+    void:~/finit# ./contrib/void/install.sh
+
+The install script is (supposed to be) non-destructive by default, you
+have to answer *Yes* twice to set up Finit as the system default init.
+Pay close attention to the last question:
+
+    *** Install Finit as the system default Init (y/N)?
+
+If you answer `No`, simply by pressing enter, you can change the symlink
+yourself later on, to point to `finit` instead of `runit`:
+
+    void:~/finit# cd /sbin
+    void:/sbin# rm init
+    void:/sbin# ln -s finit init
+
+Another option is to change the Grub defaults, in `/etc/default/grub`:
+
+    #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 slub_debug=P page_poison=1"
+    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=4 init=/sbin/finit"
+
+Alternatively, you can simply modify the default Grub entry at boot, or
+set up an alternative Grub entry to include:
+
+    linux /boot/vmlinuz-X.YY.Z ... init=/sbin/finit
+
+If you modify a Grub configuration file, remember to run:
+
+    update-grub
+
+Before rebooting, make sure to set up a [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf),
+and [/etc/finit.d/](finit.d/) for your services.  Samples are included
+in this directory.  Notice the symlinks in `/etc/finit.d/`, which can be
+managed by the operator at runtime using `initctl enable SERVICE`.  You
+can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks and
+initialization like keyboard language etc.

+Contributing to Finit
+=====================
+
+We welcome any and all help in the form of bug reports, fixes, patches
+for new features -- *preferably as GitHub pull requests*.  Other methods
+are of course also possible: emailing the maintainer a patch or even a
+raw file, or simply emailing a feature request or an alert of a problem.
+For email questions/requests/alerts there is always the risk of memory
+exhaustion on the part of the maintainer(s).
+
+If you are unsure of what to do, or how to implement an idea or bugfix,
+open an issue with `"[RFC: Unsure if this is a bug ... ?"`, or similar,
+so we can discuss it.  Talking about the code first is the best way to
+get started before submitting a pull request.
+
+Either way, when sending an email, patch, or pull request, start by
+stating the version the change is made against, what it does, and why.
+
+Please take care to ensure you follow the project coding style and the
+commit message format.  If you follow these recommendations you help
+the maintainer(s) and make it easier for them to include your code.
+
+
+Coding Style
+------------
+
+> **Tip:** Always submit code that follows the style of surrounding code!
+
+First of all, lines are allowed to be longer than 72 characters these
+days.  In fact, there exist no enforced maximum, but keeping it around
+100 chars is OK.
+
+The coding style itself is strictly Linux [KNF][].
+
+
+Commit Messages
+---------------
+
+Commit messages exist to track *why* a change was made.  Try to be as
+clear and concise as possible in your commit messages, and always, be
+proud of your work and set up a proper GIT identity for your commits:
+
+    git config --global user.name "Jane Doe"
+    git config --global user.email jane.doe@example.com
+
+Example commit message from the [Pro Git][gitbook] online book, notice
+how `git commit -s` is used to automatically add a `Signed-off-by`:
+
+    Brief, but clear and concise summary of changes
+    
+    More detailed explanatory text, if necessary.  Wrap it to about 72
+    characters or so.  In some contexts, the first line is treated as
+    the subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body.  The
+    blank line separating the ummary from the body is critical (unless
+    you omit the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if
+    you run the two together.
+    
+    Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
+    
+     - Bullet points are okay, too
+    
+     - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded
+       by a single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions
+       vary here
+    
+    Signed-off-by: Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.com>
+
+
+Another good *counter* example [is this][rambling] ...

+Introduction
+------------

-Contrary to most other script based init alternatives (SysV [init][],
-[upstart][], [systemd][], [OpenRC][], etc.)  Finit relies on its main
-configuration file `/etc/finit.conf` and `/etc/finit.d/`.
+Finit can be configured using only the original `/etc/finit.conf` file
+or in combination with `/etc/finit.d/*.conf`.  Finit 3 can even start a
+system using only /etc/finit.d/*.conf`, highly useful for package-based
+Linux distributions -- each package can provide its own "script" file.

-The command line arguments given in `/etc/finit.conf` to each service
-provide a default.  A plugin can be used to register a callback to a
-service and then modify the behavior to suit the current runlevel and
-system configuration.
+- `/etc/finit.conf`: main configuration file, read only once at boot
+- `/etc/finit.d/*.conf`: snippets, usually one service per file

-For instance, before starting a heavily resource intensive service like
-IPsec or OpenVPN, a callback can check if the outbound interface is up
-and has an IP address, or just check if the service is disabled — much
-like what a SysV init start script usually does.
+Not all configuration directives are available in `/etc/finit.d/*.conf`
+and some directives are only available at bootstrap, runlevel `S`, see
+the section [Limitations](#limitations) below for details.

-Syntax:
+To add a new service, simply drop a `.conf` file in `/etc/finit.d` and
+run `initctl reload`.  (It is also possible to `SIGHUP` to PID 1, or
+call `finit q`, but that has been deprecated with the `initctl` tool).
+Any service read from this directory is flagged as a dynamic service, so
+changes to or removal of `/etc/finit.d/*.conf` files, is detected.

-* `check <DEV>`  
-  Run fsck on a file system.  Only needed if not listed in `/etc/fstab`,
-  Finit 3.0 and later check all file systems automatically at boot.
+On `initctl reload` the following is checked for all services:
+
+- If a service's `.conf` file has been removed, or its conditions are no
+  longer satisifed, the service is stopped.
+- If the file is modified, or a service it depends on has been reloaded,
+  the service is reloaded (stopped and started).
+- If a new service is added it is automatically started — respecting
+  runlevels and return values from any callbacks.
+
+For more info on the different states of a service, see the separate
+document [Finit Services](service.md).

-/etc/finit.d
------------

-Finit supports changes to the overall system configuration at runtime.
-For this purpose the (configurable) directory `/etc/finit.d` is used.
-Here you can put configuration file snippets, one per service if you
-like, which are all sourced automatically by finit at boot when loading
-the static configuration from `/etc/finit.conf`.  This is the default
-behavior, so no include directives are necessary.
+Limitations
+-----------

-To add a new service, simply drop a `.conf` file in `/etc/finit.d` and
-run `initctl reload`.  (It is also possible to `SIGHUP` to PID 1, or
-call `finit q`, but that has been deprecated with the `initctl` tool).
-Any service read from this directory is flagged as a dynamic service, so
-changes to or removal of `/etc/finit.d/*.conf` files, is detected.
+To understand the limitations of `finit.conf` vs `finit.d` it is useful
+to picture the different phases of the system: bootstrap, runtime, and
+shutdown.  The `finit.conf` file can be used for all possible settings,
+but `finit.d/*.conf` can only be used for runtime settings.

- If the file is modified, or a service it depends on has been reloaded,
-  the service is reloaded (stopped and started).
- If a new service is added it is automatically started — respecting
-  runlevels and return values from any callbacks.
+This file was the only way to set up and boot a system using Finit.  It
+is used for pre-runtime settings like system hostname, network bringup
+and shutdown:

-**Note:** Configurations read from `/etc/finit.d` are read *after*

+Distro Recommendations
+======================
+
+By default Finit uses the following directories for configuration files:
+
+```
+    /etc/
+      |-- finit.d/              -- Regular (enabled) services
+      |    |-- lighttpd.conf
+      |     `- *.conf
+      |-- finit.conf            -- Bootstrap tasks and services
+      :
+```
+
+To enable a service one simply drops a small configuration file in the
+`/etc/finit.d/` directory.  This practice works will with systems that
+keep disabled services elsewhere, or generates them as needed from some
+other tool.
+
+Disitributions, however, may want a clearer separation of enabled and
+available (installed but not enabled) services.  They may even want to
+customize the directories used, for brand labling or uniformity.
+
+To that end Finit allows for a sub-directory `/etc/finit.d/available/`
+where installed but disabled services can reside.  Adding a symlink to a
+configuration in this sub-directory enables the service, but it will not
+be started.
+
+To change the default configuration directory and configuration file
+names the Finit `configure` script offers the following two options at
+build time:
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-rcsd=/etc/init.d --with-config=/etc/init.d/init.conf
+```
+
+The resulting directory structure is depicted below.  Please notice how
+`/etc/finit.conf` now resides in the same sub-directory as a non-symlink
+`/etc/init.d/init.conf`:
+
+```
+    /etc/
+      |-- init.d/
+      |    |-- available/      -- Regular (disabled) services
+	  |    |    |-- httpd.conf
+	  |    |    |-- ntpd.conf
+	  |    |    `-- sshd.conf
+	  |    |-- sshd.conf       -- Symlink to available/sshd.conf
+      |     `- init.conf       -- Bootstrap tasks and services
+      :
+```
+
+To facilitate the task of managing configurations, be it a service,
+task, run, or other stanza, the `initctl` tool has a a few built-in
+commands:
+
+```
+   list              List all .conf in /etc/finit.d/
+   enable   <CONF>   Enable   .conf in /etc/finit.d/available/
+   disable  <CONF>   Disable  .conf in /etc/finit.d/[enabled/]
+   reload            Reload  *.conf in /etc/finit.d/ (activates changes)
+```
+
+To enable a service like `sshd.conf`, above, use
+
+    initctl enable sshd
+
+The `.conf` suffix is not needed, `initctl` adds it implicitly if it is
+missing.  The `disable` command works in a similar fashion.
+
+Note, however, that `initctl` only operates on symlinks and it always
+requires the `available/` sub-directory.  Any non-symlink in the parent
+directory, here `/etc/init.d/`, will be considered a system override by
+`initctl`.

+Finit Signals
+=============
+
+Finit is often used on embedded and small Linux systems with BusyBox.
+Though Finit comes with its own tools for (poweroff, halt, reboot), for
+compatibility with the existing BusyBox toolset the following signals
+have been adopted:
+
+* `SIGHUP`  
+  Same effect as `finit q`, `init q`, or `initctl reload`, reloads all
+  *.conf files in `/etc/finit.d/`
+* `SIGUSR1`  
+  Calls shutdown hooks, including `HOOK_SHUTDOWN`, stopping all running
+  processes, and unmounts all file systems.  Then tells kernel to halt.
+  Most people these days want `SIGUSR2` though.
+
+  SysV init and systemd use this to re-open their FIFO/D-Bus.
+* `SIGUSR2`  
+  Like SIGUSR1, but tell kernel to power-off the system, if ACPI
+  or similar exists to actually do this.  If the kernel fails
+  power-off, Finit falls back to halt.
+ 
+  SysV init N/A, systemd dumps its internal state to log.
+* `SIGTERM`  
+  Like `SIGUSR1`, but tell kernel to reboot the system when done.
+ 
+  SysV init N/A, systemd rexecutes itself.
+* `SIGINT`  
+  Sent from kernel when the CTRL-ALT-DEL key combo is pressed.
+  SysV init and systemd default to reboot with `shutdown -r`.  
+  Finit currently forwards this to `SIGTERM`.
+* `SIGPWR`  
+  Sent from a power daemon, like `powstatd(8)`, on changes to the
+  UPS status.  Traditionally SysV init read /etc/powerstatus and
+  acted on "OK", "FAIL", or "LOW" and then removed the file.  
+  Finit currently forwards this to `SIGUSR2`.
