Improved system management on BSD #15

init
program
The approach I mean to take is to create a new portable
|
I just sort-of booted FreeBSD with InitWare using a scheme similar to the above, only I used the usual FreeBSD init (I simply exec InitWare manager daemon from within FreeBSD init; I suspect the problem could be that InitWare is fast and parallel, and so breaks assumptions of rcNG scripts which improperly rely on serialised startup with delay between items. So creating unit-files to replace at least the base rcNG scripts seems necessary. Hopefully the rcNG scripts from Ports and pkgsrc will be less problematic and we can continue to use a generator for these. |
InitWare currently boots as system manager on NetBSD by taking over from
/etc/rc
which is run by unmodified NetBSDinit
- that skeletal/etc/rc
runs some of the early boot-up scripts before the remainder are converted by a generator invokingrcng2unit
.I am now looking to get a FreeBSD system booting with InitWare and want to eliminate some of the fragility of the current approach on NetBSD by instead using a portable program in place of BSD
