mkinit is a tiny init daemon that relies on mk for determining the order init services need to be executed. WARNING: This code is not very well tested, you should probably run `mkinit -t' a few times as root before actually trying using init=/sbin/mkinit. Init scripts ------------ Init scripts take the form of mk rules contained in /etc/init.mk. Services are started by calling the `-start' rule and stopped by calling `-stop'. Services should use `:Pservice -[ud]:' to determine if the script needs to be run and call `service -[UD]' afterwards. For simple services consisting of a single start and stop command with no dependencies other than `boot', the default start-stop rules can be used by setting `-start_cmd' and `-stop_cmd'. Dependencies are handled by adding `-start' to the rules list of dependencies. When stopping a service, `-stop' should be added to the list of dependencies for the dependency.
