initctl reload freezes conditions to the old generation and each owner re-asserts. Finit's own providers do this in-process; an external provider whose conditions are generation files, rather than the oneshot symlinks keventd uses, has no way to know the moment. Emit Manager1.ConfigReloaded when reconfiguration completes. keventd needs no subscriber: its conditions are symlinks to the reconf marker itself, so they read the current generation by construction and never flux, which the device bus test now pins down.

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.
