Skribent: Edward Bartolo Dato: Til: dng Emne: [DNG] A PID 1 that only calls a startup script/program.
Hi,
Before I joined Devuan I did a sysvinit hack that isolated it to a
dedicated directory under "/". This was a naive attempt by me to use
sysvinit in case Debian decided to intentionally break sysvinit's
installation. Curiously, after using medit to edit /sbin/init's C code
to use the new directory (/dgli), my system booted and was useable.
I am writing here NOT to discuss whether this hack has its place in
Devuan, but because I have the temptation to hack /sbin/init to call a
script/executable when it starts. In the event no such
script/executable exists, I would let /sbin/init start a shell as a
normal unprivileged user.
