Allow service IDs up to 64 characters to support SHA-256 hashes, UUIDs, and other long unique identifiers. This increases memory usage by ~98 bytes per service instance, which is negligible for typical deployments. The IDENT column width in initctl output adapts dynamically based on actual ID lengths in use, so short IDs remain unaffected. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
Finit is an alternative to SysV init and systemd, focused on small and embedded Linux systems, although fully usable on server and desktop systems.

- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Support for various Linux distributions does not mean Finit installs easily on all architectures. Bundled install scripts are examples for standard installations, tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems. Custom setups, e.g., for embedded systems, can be found in the following Buildroot based examples: myLinux, Infix, or the plain br2-finit-demo.
