The netlink plugin only receives RTM_NEWLINK events for interfaces that appear after the plugin starts. Interfaces that already exist at boot (e.g., virtio-net in QEMU) never generate events, so their conditions like net/eth0/exist were never set. Moving enumeration to PLUGIN_INIT doesn't work because it runs before cond_init(), so the condition filesystem isn't ready yet. Fix by registering an HOOK_SVC_PLUGIN callback that queries existing interfaces and routes. This hook runs during conf_init(), after the condition system is initialized.
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.

- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and

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.
