else is a kernel bug. Both 2.4 and 2.6 should get this right now. This should fix the bug IraquiGeek is seeing (although killall still needs to be fixed.)

init shouldn't call swapoff.

The init applet will restart (re-exec) itsself when it receives a SIGHUP. However, just before it enters its main loop, it resets SIGHUP to either re-load the inittab (or ignore it if no inittab is used). Thus preventing the re-exec option from being triggerable. This patch adds a signal handler for SIGQUIT for init that always causes init to re-exec itsself (along with killing anything else that might be still running).

Hello, all. Busybox init does not handle removed inittab entry correctly. # I'm sorry about my poor english, but you can find # what I would like to say from patch, isn't it? even if you apply this path, when yoy try to change a command line option in inittab, you have to do following steps. 1. remove old line from initrd 2. send HUP signal to init 3. kill old proces which is invoked from init. 4. append new line to inittab 5. send HUP signal to init, again patch is against current CVS + last patch witch I send it last.

"kill -HUP 1" reloads inittab, and when I append one line to inittab and send HUP signal two times, It will starts 2 process. patch against current CVS is attached.

It looks like latest uClibc defines ARCH_HAS_MMU, but a few busybox files test UCLIBC_HAS_MMU, resulting in vfork() getting called instead of fork(), etc. Patch below. Only tested for lash. Cheers, -Jamie

By adding debug message in init/init.c, I found the problem: when init restart(in exec_signal()), before open the new terminal device, there is still a file opened(I don't know which file it is), so the terminal device(stdin) get fd '1', and the first dup(0)(stdout) return '2', the second(stderr) return '3'. I attach a simple patch to solve this problem.

2003-07-22Patch from Andrew Flegg:Eric Andersen
Here's a pretty crude patch to reload /etc/inittab when init receives a SIGHUP. The mailing list archives weren't entirely clear on whether or not it should already happen, but didn't appear to be. The patch: * Adds a new function, reload_signal() which just calls parse_inittab() and run_actions(RESPAWN) * Before entering the while (1) loop set up SIGHUP to call reload_signal() * Modify new_init_action to skip the action if the same command already exists on the same terminal This last bit means that changing already running entries is a bit hairy as you can end up with, for example, two shells running on the same virtual console. However, for solely adding/removing entries this patch seems to work quite well.

2003-07-05Daniel writes:Eric Andersen
I've found a problem with job control when the init process is restarted. If the system boots for the first time, I get job control on a serial terminal - no problems. However, when I restart init by issuing "init -q", then the shell no longer has job control. I traced this a problem in console_init in the file init.c. What was happening after the restart is that the first compare if (ioctl(0, TIOCGSERIAL, &sr) == 0) { ... } else if (ioctl(0, VT_GETSTATE, &vt) == 0) { ... } else { ... // assume /dev/console } returned error and subsequently the code assumes /dev/console as the console, which does not support job control. Checking the errno after the first call showed that the system was complaining about the file descriptor. This is probably because the previous init process had closed all its file descriptors which the new init process had inherited.

kernel versions
2003-04-24There have been many reports of init failing to reboot and/or failing to haltEric Andersen
over the years. Well I finally took the time to track this down. It turns out that inside linux/kernel/sys.c the kernel will call machine_halt(); do_exit(0); when halting, or will call machine_power_off(); do_exit(0); during a reboot. Unlike sysv init, we call reboot from within the init process, so if the call to machine_halt() or machine_power_off() returns, the call to do_exit(0) will cause the kernel to panic. Which is a very bad thing to happen. So I just added this little patch to fork and call the reboot syscall from within the forked child process, thereby neatly avoiding the problem. But IMHO, both calls to do_exit(0) within linux/kernel/sys.c are bugs and should be fixed. -Erik

2002-10-12After thinking about it, I think this patch from Matt Kraai is probably theEric Andersen
best way to go. Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't even try to open ttys for apps. We do. So we should _try_ to provide a controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work. This way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right Thing(tm).
