|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is the last stage of the boot process (after the kernel loads
|
|
and initializes all the devices).
|
|
It normally begins multi-user operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following table describes the state machine used by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Single user shell.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be passed
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
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 state 2 (multi-user) by exiting the single-user
|
|
shell (with ^D).
|
|
.It
|
|
Multi-user boot (default operation).
|
|
Executes
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr rc 8 ) .
|
|
If this was the first state entered (as opposed to entering here after
|
|
state 1), then
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
will be invoked with its first argument being
|
|
.Sq autoboot .
|
|
If
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
exits with a non-zero (error) exit code, commence single user
|
|
operation by giving the super-user a shell on the console by going
|
|
to state 1 (single user).
|
|
Otherwise, proceed to state 3.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If value of the
|
|
.Dq init.root
|
|
sysctl node is not equal to
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
at this point, the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc
|
|
process will be run inside a
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
indicated by sysctl with the same error handling as above.
|
|
.It
|
|
Set up ttys as specified in
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 .
|
|
See below for more information.
|
|
On completion, continue to state 4.
|
|
If we did chroot in state 2, each
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
process will be run in the same
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
path as in 2 (that is, the value of
|
|
.Dq init.root
|
|
sysctl is not re-read).
|
|
.It
|
|
Multi-user operation.
|
|
Depending upon the signal received, change state appropriately;
|
|
on
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM ,
|
|
go to state 7;
|
|
on
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP ,
|
|
go to state 5;
|
|
on
|
|
.Dv SIGTSTP ,
|
|
go to state 6.
|
|
.It
|
|
Clean-up mode; re-read
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 ,
|
|
killing off the controlling processes on lines that are now
|
|
.Sq off ,
|
|
and starting processes that are newly
|
|
.Sq on .
|
|
On completion, go to state 4.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq Boring
|
|
mode; no new sessions.
|
|
Signals as per state 4.
|
|
.It
|
|
Shutdown mode.
|
|
Send
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
to all controlling processes, reap the processes for 30 seconds,
|
|
and then go to state 1 (single user); warning if not all the processes died.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Sq console
|
|
entry in the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file is marked
|
|
.Dq insecure ,
|
|
then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will require that the superuser password be
|
|
entered before the system will start a single-user shell.
|
|
The password check is skipped if the
|
|
.Sq console
|
|
is marked as
|
|
.Dq secure .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It should be noted that while
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has the ability to start multi-user operation inside a
|
|
.Xr chroot 2
|
|
environment, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
process itself will always run in the
|
|
.Dq original root directory .
|
|
This also implies that single-user mode is always started in the original
|
|
root, giving the possibility to create multi-user sessions in different
|
|
root directories over time.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq init.root
|
|
sysctl node is fabricated by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
at startup and re-created any time it's found to be missing.
|
|
Type of the node is string capable of holding full pathname, and
|
|
is only accessible by the superuser (unless explicitly destroyed
|
|
and re-created with different specification).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In multi-user operation,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
maintains
|
|
processes for the terminal ports found in the file
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 .
|
|
.Nm
|
|
reads this file, and executes the command found in the second field.
|
|
This command is usually
|
|
.Xr getty 8 ;
|
|
it opens and initializes the tty line and executes the
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
program.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
executing a new
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
for the line.
|
|
.pl +1
|
|
.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
|
|
with the command
|
|
.Dq Li "kill \-s HUP 1" .
|
|
This is referenced in the table above as state 5.
|
|
On receipt of this signal,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
re-reads the
|
|
.Xr ttys 5
|
|
file.
|
|
When a line is turned off in
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will send a
|
|
.Dv 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
|
|
executes a new
|
|
.Xr getty 8
|
|
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
|
|
starts a process on the line).
|
|
If a line is commented out or deleted from
|
|
.Xr ttys 5 ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
will terminate multi-user operations and resume single-user mode
|
|
if sent a terminate
|
|
.Pq Dv TERM
|
|
signal, for example,
|
|
.Dq Li "kill \-s TERM 1" .
|
|
If there are processes outstanding that are deadlocked (because of
|
|
hardware or software failure),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
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
|
|
will cease creating new
|
|
.Xr getty 8 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 \-s 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
|
|
The role of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is so critical that if it dies, the system will reboot itself
|
|
automatically.
|
|
If, at bootstrap time, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
process cannot be located, or exits during its initialisation,
|
|
the system will panic with the message
|
|
.Dq panic: init died (signal %d, exit %d) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Pa /dev/console
|
|
does not exist,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will cd to
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
and run
|
|
.Dq Li "MAKEDEV -M init" .
|
|
.Xr MAKEDEV 8
|
|
will create an mfs filesystem mounted over
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
that contins the standard devices considered necessary to boot the system.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /var/log/wtmp -compact
|
|

|
|

.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.
