raaa3260 r3f0c882 29 29 <title>Installation of Sysvinit</title> 30 30 31 <para>When run-levels are changed (for example, when halting the system), 32 <command>init</command> sends termination signals to those processes that 33 <command>init</command> itself started and that shouldn't be running in the new 34 run-level. While doing this, <command>init</command> outputs messages like 35 <quote>Sending processes the TERM signal</quote> which seem to imply that it is sending these signals to all currently running processes. To avoid this 36 misinterpretation, you can modify the source so that these messages read like 37 <quote>Sending processes started by init the TERM signal</quote> instead:</para> 31 <para>Issue a sed sustitution:</para> 38 32 39 33 <screen><userinput>sed -i 's@Sending processes@& started by init@g' \ … … 52 46 53 47 <sect2 id="conf-sysvinit" role="configuration"><title>Configuring Sysvinit</title> 54 <indexterm zone="conf-sysvinit">55 <primary sortas="a-Sysvinit">Sysvinit</primary>56 <secondary>configuring</secondary></indexterm>57 48 58 <indexterm zone="conf-sysvinit"><primary sortas="e-/etc/inittab">/etc/inittab</primary></indexterm> 59 60 <para>Create a new <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file by running the 61 following:</para> 49 <para>Create a <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file:</para> 62 50 63 51 <screen><userinput>cat > /etc/inittab << "EOF" … … 90 78 EOF</userinput></screen> 91 79 92 <para> The <parameter>-I '\033(K'</parameter> switch tells <command>agetty</command> to send this escape sequence to93 the terminal before doing anything else. This escape sequence switches the94 console character set to a user-defined one, which can be modified by95 running the <command>setfont</command> program.96 Actually, the <command>console</command> initscript from the LFS-Bootscripts97 package calls the <command>setfont</command> program during system98 startup. Sending this escape sequence is necessary for99 people who use non-ISO-8859-1 screen font, but does not hurt native English100 speakers.</para>101 102 80 </sect2> 103 81 … … 105 83 <sect2 id="contents-sysvinit" role="content"><title>Contents of Sysvinit</title> 106 84 107 <segmentedlist> 108 <segtitle>Installed programs</segtitle> 109 <seglistitem><seg>halt, init, killall5, last, lastb (link to last), mesg, pidof (link to 110 killall5), poweroff (link to halt), reboot (link to halt), runlevel, shutdown, sulogin, telinit 111 (link to init), utmpdump and wall</seg></seglistitem> 112 </segmentedlist> 85 <para>See testing</para> 113 86 114 <variablelist><title>Short descriptions</title> 115 116 <varlistentry id="halt"> 117 <term><command>halt</command></term> 118 <listitem> 119 <indexterm zone="ch-system-sysvinit halt"><primary sortas="b-halt">halt</primary></indexterm> 120 <para>normally invokes <command>shutdown</command> with the <parameter>-h</parameter> flag, 121 except when already in run-level 0, then it tells the kernel to halt the system. 122 But first it notes in the file <filename>/var/log/wtmp</filename> that the 123 system is being brought down.</para> 124 </listitem> 125 </varlistentry> 126 127 <varlistentry id="init"> 128 <term><command>init</command></term> 129 <listitem> 130 <indexterm zone="ch-system-sysvinit init"><primary sortas="b-init">init</primary></indexterm> 131 <para>is the mother of all processes.
