A condition list could be led by '!', which is not a condition and not
a negation. It is a flag on the block, and it means two unrelated
things depending on which block it sits in: a service or sysv does not
handle SIGHUP and must be restarted to reload, while a run or task
must not hold up bootstrap. Writing '<!>' with no condition at all is
legal, which gives away that it was never an operator.
Give each meaning its own key, valid only where it applies:
service foo { reload-signal = "none" } # restart to reload
task bar { required = false } # do not hold up bootstrap
Using either on a block type it does not apply to warns, as does a '!'
left in a conditions list. Both still translate to that same '!',
which is all a legacy line can carry, so reload-signal takes SIGHUP or
none for now; str2sig() already accepts any case and an optional SIG
prefix.
This also clears the way for the conditions list to grow real
operators, '+' and '-' for asserted and deasserted, without '!'
sitting among them meaning something else entirely.
The '~' prefix stays. It belongs to the list: it marks a dependency
whose reload should propagate here.

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.
