.Sh NAME

|
.Nm init
|
|
.Nd process control initialization
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
program
|
|
is the last stage of the boot process.
|
|
It normally runs the automatic reboot sequence as described in
|
|
.Xr reboot 8 ,
|
|
and if this succeeds, begins multi-user operation.
|
|
If the reboot scripts fail,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
commences single user operation by giving
|
|
the super-user a shell on the console.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
program may be passed parameters
|
|
from the boot program to
|
|
prevent the system from going multi-user and to instead execute
|
|
a single user shell without starting the normal daemons.
|
|
The system is then quiescent for maintenance work and may
|
|
later be made to go to multi-user by exiting the
|
|
single-user shell (with ^D).
|
|
This
|
|
causes
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
to run the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
start up command file in fastboot mode (skipping disk checks).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Nm console
|
|
entry in the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file is marked ``insecure'',
|
|
then
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
will require that the superuser password be
|
|
entered before the system will start a single-user shell.
|
|
The password check is skipped if the
|
|
.Nm console
|
|
is marked as ``secure''.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel runs with four different levels of security.
|
|
Any superuser process can raise the security level, but only
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
can lower it.
|
|
The security levels are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Ic -1
|
|
Permanently insecure mode \- always run the system in level 0 mode.
|
|
.It Ic 0
|
|
Insecure mode \- immutable and append-only flags may be turned off.
|
|
All devices may be read or written subject to their permissions.
|
|
.It Ic 1
|
|
Secure mode \- the system immutable and system append-only flags may not
|
|
be turned off;
|
|
disks for mounted filesystems,
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem
|
|
may not be opened for writing.
|
|
.It Ic 2
|
|
Highly secure mode \- same as secure mode, plus disks may not be
|
|
opened for writing (except by
|
|
.Xr mount 2 )
|
|
whether mounted or not.
|
|
This level precludes tampering with filesystems by unmounting them,
|
|
but also inhibits running
|
|
.Xr newfs 8
|
|
while the system is multi-user.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the security level is initially -1, then
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
leaves it unchanged.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
arranges to run the system in level 0 mode while single user
|
|
and in level 1 mode while multiuser.
|
|
If level 2 mode is desired while running multiuser,
|
|
it can be set while single user, e.g., in the startup script
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc ,
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In multi-user operation,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
maintains
|
|
processes for the terminal ports found in the file
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 .
|
|
.Nm Init
|
|
reads this file, and executes the command found in the second field.
|
|
This command is usually
|
|
.Xr getty 8 ;
|
|
.Nm getty
|
|
opens and initializes the tty line
|
|
and
|
|
executes the
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
program.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm login
|
|
program, when a valid user logs in,
|
|
executes a shell for that user. When this shell
|
|
dies, either because the user logged out
|
|
or an abnormal termination occurred (a signal),
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
program wakes up, deletes the user
|
|
from the
|
|
.Xr utmp 5
|
|
file of current users and records the logout in the
|
|
.Xr wtmp 5
|
|
file.
|
|
The cycle is
|
|
then restarted by
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
executing a new
|
|
.Nm getty
|
|
for the line.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Line status (on, off, secure, getty, or window information)
|
|
may be changed in the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file without a reboot by sending the signal
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
to
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
with the command
|
|
.Dq Li "kill -HUP 1" .
|
|
On receipt of this signal,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
re-reads the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file.
|
|
When a line is turned off in
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 ,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
will send a SIGHUP signal to the controlling process
|
|
for the session associated with the line.
|
|
For any lines that were previously turned off in the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file and are now on,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
executes a new
|
|
.Nm getty
|
|
to enable a new login.
|
|
If the getty or window field for a line is changed,
|
|
the change takes effect at the end of the current
|
|
login session (e.g., the next time
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
starts a process on the line).
|
|
If a line is commented out or deleted from
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 ,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
will not do anything at all to that line.
|
|
However, it will complain that the relationship between lines
|
|
in the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file and records in the
|
|
.Xr utmp 5
|
|
file is out of sync,
|
|
so this practice is not recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Init
|
|
will terminate multi-user operations and resume single-user mode
|
|
if sent a terminate
|
|
.Pq Dv TERM
|
|
signal, for example,
|
|
.Dq Li "kill \-TERM 1" .
|
|
If there are processes outstanding that are deadlocked (because of
|
|
hardware or software failure),
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
will not wait for them all to die (which might take forever), but
|
|
will time out after 30 seconds and print a warning message.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Init
|
|
will cease creating new
|
|
.Nm getty Ns 's
|
|
and allow the system to slowly die away, if it is sent a terminal stop
|
|
.Pq Dv TSTP
|
|
signal, i.e.
|
|
.Dq Li "kill \-TSTP 1" .
|
|
A later hangup will resume full
|
|
multi-user operations, or a terminate will start a single user shell.
|
|
This hook is used by
|
|
.Xr reboot 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr halt 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Init
|
|
will terminate all possible processes (again, it will not wait
|
|
for deadlocked processes) and reboot the machine if sent the interrupt
|
|
.Pq Dv INT
|
|
signal, i.e.
|
|
.Dq Li "kill \-INT 1".
|
|
This is useful for shutting the machine down cleanly from inside the kernel
|
|
or from X when the machine appears to be hung.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When shuting down the machine,
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
will try to run the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.shutdown
|
|
script. This script can be used to cleanly terminate specific programs such
|
|
as
|
|
.Nm innd
|
|
(the InterNetNews server).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The role of
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
is so critical that if it dies, the system will reboot itself
|
|
automatically.
|
|
If, at bootstrap time, the
|
|
.Nm init
|
|
process cannot be located, the system will panic with the message
|
|
``panic: "init died (signal %d, exit %d)''.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping"
|
|
A process being started to service a line is exiting quickly
|
|
each time it is started.
|
|
This is often caused by a ringing or noisy terminal line.
|
|
.Em "Init will sleep for 10 seconds" ,
|
|
.Em "then continue trying to start the process" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It "some processes would not die; ps axl advised."
|
|
A process
|
|
is hung and could not be killed when the system was shutting down.
|
|
This condition is usually caused by a process
|
|
that is stuck in a device driver because of
|
|
a persistent device error condition.
