Similar to systemd's RemainAfterExit=yes. Prevents the task from
re-running on runlevel re-entry and ensures the post: script runs
when explicitly stopped or when leaving valid runlevels.
Useful for tasks that set up persistent state like firewall rules:
task [2345] remain:yes \
post:/usr/sbin/teardown-firewall \
/usr/sbin/setup-firewall -- Firewall setup
Not supported for bootstrap-only tasks (runlevel S only) since these
are deleted immediately after completion.
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.
