| 7 | # Note, BusyBox init doesn't support runlevels. The runlevels field is |
| 8 | # completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want runlevels, use sysvinit. |

| 11 | # Format for each entry: <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> |
| 12 | # |
| 13 | # <id>: WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init! |
| 14 | # |
| 15 | # The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for |
| 16 | # the specified process to run on. The contents of this field are |
| 17 | # appended to "/dev/" and used as-is. There is no need for this field to |
| 18 | # be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results. If this |
| 19 | # field is left blank, it is completely ignored. Also note that if |
| 20 | # BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use, then all entries |
| 21 | # containing non-empty id fields will _not_ be run. BusyBox init does |
| 22 | # nothing with utmp. We don't need no stinkin' utmp. |
| 23 | # |
| 24 | # <runlevels>: The runlevels field is completely ignored. |

| 29 | # Note: askfirst acts just like respawn, but before running the specified |
| 30 | # process it displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this |
| 31 | # console." and then waits for the user to press enter before starting |
| 32 | # the specified process. |
| 33 | # |
| 34 | # Note: unrecognised actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit |
| 35 | # an error message, and then go along with its business. |
| 36 | # |
| 37 | # <process>: Specifies the process to be executed and it's command line. |
| 38 | # |
Eric Andersen | 3555fd0 | 2001-07-30 19:28:33 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 39 | # Note: BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab is |
| 40 | # found, it has the following default behavior: |
| 41 | # ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS |
| 42 | # ::askfirst:/bin/sh |
| 43 | # ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot |
| 44 | # ::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a |
| 45 | # ::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r |
| 46 | # if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will |
| 47 | # also run: |
| 48 | # tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh |
| 49 | # tty3::askfirst:/bin/sh |
| 50 | # tty4::askfirst:/bin/sh |
