The attach is best effort and its diagnostics were tuned for the case where no broker exists, so a broker that answers but refuses us was reported as a bare rc=1 at debug level. Chasing that meant reading the header builder to find out what the number meant. Failures now quote the error name the broker sent, and the one for a name we could not claim says which of the three ways it went wrong. Repeats stay quiet. The probe runs on every service and condition change, and before syslog is up each line is an open, write and close on /dev/kmsg, so a broker that keeps refusing would otherwise flood the console during boot.

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
- 🌌 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.
