Two races, both around the post:script Finit runs when it gives up on a service. Finit marks the service crashed before it forks post:script, so the file the test greps for lands a moment later. Waiting for the state is not enough. slay then takes the PID from initctl status, and service_post_script() sets svc->pid to the script's PID, so once Finit has given up the PID reported for the service is the post:script. Killing that takes out the script instead of the service and the file never arrives at all. The guard for this was already there, with a comment describing it, but inside the loop that waits for a PID to appear, so it only covered the case where there was none. A PID that was already there went straight to kill -9. Hence the gcc leg killing once more at lap 13, after Finit had stopped restarting, where clang stopped at 12.

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.

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.
