It is up to \texttt{init} to start the rest of the system. The usual ``SysV init'' does this according to \texttt{/etc/inittab}. The kernel also treats process ID 1 (init) specially: \begin{itemize} \item PID 1 is skipped by various ``kill all'' operations, etc \item ``orphaned'' child processes are adopted by PID 1 \end{itemize} \end{frame} \begin{frame}[fragile] \frametitle{Telling \texttt{init} what to do} By sending signals directly (as root) or by running various commands, which relay to \texttt{init}: \begin{description} \item[telinit] Tell \texttt{init} to reload inittab, re-exec itself or switch runlevels \item[shutdown] Initiate a shutdown by doing some book-keeping and then signalling \texttt{init} \item[halt, reboot, poweroff] Tools used to initiate or finalise special kinds of shutdown \item[runlevel] Find out current or previous runlevel \end{description} \end{frame} \begin{frame}[fragile] \frametitle{Runlevels} The Linux Standards Base (\url{http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/runlevels.html}) defines the following standard runlevels that all distributions should follow to be compliant: \begin{center} \noindent% \begin{tabular}[t]{ll} 0 & halt\\ 1 & single user mode \\ 2 & multiuser with no network services exported \\ 3 & normal/full multiuser \\ 4 & reserved for local use, default is normal/full multiuser \\ 5 & multiuser with a display manager or equivalent \\ 6 & reboot \end{tabular} % \begin{tabular}{cl} % 0 & Halt \\ % 1 or S & ``Single user mode'' \\ % 2--5 & Normal multi-user runlevels \\ % 6 & Reboot \\ % \end{tabular} \end{center} Passed through via kernel command line, \texttt{telinit} or default in \texttt{/etc/inittab}. \end{frame} \begin{frame}[fragile] \frametitle{\texttt{/etc/inittab}} \textit{id}~:~\textit{runlevels}~:~\textit{action}~:~\textit{process} {\small \begin{semiverbatim} # /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration. id:5:initdefault: # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit # /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts # scripts when change runlevel. l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5 l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6 \end{semiverbatim}} % # The default runlevel. % id:2:initdefault: % # Boot-time system configuration/initialisation script. % # This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode. % si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS % # What to do in single-user mode. % ~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin \texttt{/etc/init.d/rc} runs all the ``K'' scripts in \texttt{/etc/rc\textit{N}.d/}, followed by the ``S'' scripts. \end{frame} % \begin{frame}[fragile] % \frametitle{\texttt{/etc/inittab}} % {\small % \begin{alltt} % # /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change % # of runlevel. % l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0 % l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1 % \vdots % l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6 % # Normally not reached, but fallthrough in case of emergency. % z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin % \end{alltt}} % \texttt{/etc/init.d/rc} runs all the ``K'' scripts in % \texttt{/etc/rc\textit{N}.d/}, followed by the ``S'' scripts. % \end{frame} \begin{frame}[fragile] \frametitle{\texttt{/etc/inittab}} \begin{semiverbatim}\tiny # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now # When our UPS tells us power has # failed, assume we have a few minutes # of power left.
