shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds). We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in /etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults to 120 seconds. Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999 (as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via /etc/rc.conf), etc. As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8). Also document it in the manpages init(8) and rc.conf(5). Reviewed by: phk MFC after: 2 weeks
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
