Consider also, that busybox includes minit (another init), better as the |
| 42 |
default init, has dependency checking between services, parallel startup |
| 43 |
of services, as I understand it. Wach service has it's own subdirectory |
| 44 |
where the config/dependency files can be placed |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
To integrate it with a full-blown SysVinit system each service could |
| 47 |
provide both configs, a sysvinit startup script, and a, let's say minit |
| 48 |
one. |
