The runparts directory and the dbus pidfile and daemon paths are embedded in double-quoted values of the generated block files. A literal quote in either ends the value early and libconfuse rejects the whole file, and a backslash is read as an escape sequence, silently mangling the path. The legacy one-liners had no quoting, so neither failure existed before the block conversion. conf_escape() doubles backslashes and escapes quotes; verified by round-tripping hostile paths through cfg_parse_buf().

Finit is a fast, simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, designed for small and embedded Linux systems. It can also run on desktop and server systems, like finix.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.
For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
