MANAGING SERVICES WITH BUSYBOX
________________________________________________________________________________
KISS uses busybox's init with busybox's runit utilities for services by default.
Basic usage
________________________________________________________________________________
+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Action | Command |
|---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| List | $ ls /etc/sv/ |
| | |
| Enable | $ ln -s /etc/sv/SERVICE_NAME/ /var/service |
| Disable | $ unlink /var/service/SERVICE_NAME |
| | |
| Stop | $ sv down SERVICE_NAME |
| Start | $ sv up SERVICE_NAME |
| | |
+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
See https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/runit/sv.c for full usage.
Running commands during boot/shutdown
________________________________________________________________________________
This can be accomplished in a generic way (using /etc/rc.d) or by modifying the
busybox-init only /etc/inittab file.
Using /etc/rc.d
____________________________________________________________________________
This method of configuration works with every init system which uses the
KISS init framework. See $/kiss-community/init
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Run command during boot. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| # Load the iwlwifi kernel module. |
| echo "modprobe iwlwifi" > /etc/rc.d/wifi.boot |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Run command during shutdown. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| # Save system time to hwclock. |
| echo "hwclock -w" > /etc/rc.d/hwclock.pre.shutdown |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| TIP: .post.shutdown can also be used. |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Using /etc/inittab
____________________________________________________________________________
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Run command during boot. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| # Load the iwlwifi kernel module. |
| ::once:/bin/modprobe iwlwifi |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Run command during shutdown. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| # Save system time to hwclock. |
| ::shutdown:/bin/hwclock -w |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
