|  |  | 
|  | [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] | 
|  | * Mention new home on Savannah in README. | 
|  | * Revert change from Fedora/RedHat where the now obsolete command | 
|  | INIT_CMD_CHANGECONS was introduced.  Based on feedback and patch | 
|  | from Bill Nottingham. | 
|  | * Adjust makefile to make sure the install directories are created | 
|  | before files are copied into them. | 
|  | * Simplify build rules, based on patch from Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. | 
|  | * Fix minor bug in optimizing of argument parsing.  Based on | 
|  | report from jakemus on freshmeat. | 
|  | * Add casts to get rid of compiler warning about signed/unsigned issues. | 
|  | * Change tty handling in init to make sure the UTF-8 flag is not cleared | 
|  | on boot.  Patch from Samuel Thibault. | 
|  | * Add Makefile in toplevel directory. | 
|  | * Print usage information when shutdown is used by non-root user. | 
|  | Patch from Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. | 
|  | * Sync shutdown manual page and usage information.  Patch from Mike | 
|  | Frysinger and Gentoo. | 
|  | * Fix race condition in utmp writing.  Patch from Gil Kloepfer via | 
|  | Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. | 
|  | * Rewrite findtty() in bootlogd to recursively search /dev/ for the | 
|  | correct device, to handle terminal devices for example in /dev/pty/. | 
|  | Patch from Debian. | 
|  | * Make sure bootlogd findpty() returns an error value when it fails to | 
|  | find a usable pty.  Patch from Rob Leslie via Debian. | 
|  | * Make sure bootlogd fflush() every line, even if asked not to flush | 
|  | to disk using fdatasync().  Patch from Scott Gifford via Debian. | 
|  |  | 
|  | [ Werner Fink ] | 
|  | * Add the comment from Andrea Arcangeli about the correct | 
|  | place of setting the default childhandler within spawn(). | 
|  | * Make sure that newline is printed out for last(1) even | 
|  | if an utmp record entry is truncated. | 
|  | * Check if utmp not only exists but also is writable and delay | 
|  | writing out of the utmp runlevel record if utmp is not writable. | 
|  | * Be able to find libcrypt also on 64 bit based architectures. | 
|  | * Add option -w to the last command to display the full user and | 
|  | domain names in the output.  Patch from Petr Lautrbach. | 
|  | * Add a manual page for utmpdump as this tool is sometimes | 
|  | very useful even if not intended for normal use. | 
|  | * Use paths.h macros for wall | 
|  | * Change path "/etc/powerstatus" to "/var/run/powerstatus" | 
|  | * Detected also removable block devices at halt/reboot to be able | 
|  | to flush data and send them the ATA standby command.  This should | 
|  | avoid data loss on USB sticks and other removable block devices. | 
|  | * Flush block devices on halt/reboot if not done by the kernel. | 
|  | * Set SHELL to /bin/sh in the environmant of shutdown. | 
|  | * Retry to write out shutdown messages if interrupted. | 
|  | * pidof/killall5 - make omit pid list a dynamic one. | 
|  | * pidof - provide '-n' to skip stat(2) syscall on network based FS. | 
|  | * init - avoid compiler warnings | 
|  | * init - initialize console by using the macros from ttydefaults.h | 
|  | * init - add the possiblity to ignore further interrupts from keyboard | 
|  | * init - add the possiblity to set sane terminal line settings | 
|  | * sulogin - add the possibility to reset the terminal io | 
|  | * Fix some minor problems | 
|  | * init - enable is_selinux_enabled() to detect selinuxfs | 
|  | * Add fix for Debian bug #536574 -- Can be enabled by -DACCTON_OFF | 
|  | * Add helper program fstab-decode to make it easier to handle | 
|  | /etc/mtab content. Patch by Miloslav Trmac and Fedora. | 
|  | * Add fix for Debian bug #335023 - Make sure TERM is set on FreeBSD. | 
|  | * Add fix for Debian bug #374038 - Make it clear that shutdown -c can | 
|  | only cancel a waiting shutdown, not an active one. | 
|  | * Add note to pidof manual page about the use of readlink(2). Patch by | 
|  | Bill Nottingham and Fedora. | 
|  | * Add changes for Debian bug #68621 - Add PAM support for programs spawned | 
|  | by init on the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen. | 
|  | * Test out PAM support, extend PAM support by providing environment | 
|  | is specified by /etc/pam.d/init | 
|  | * Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to | 
|  | use the correct pid even on a controlling tty | 
|  | * Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for | 
|  | getting a controlling tty isn't that reported by spawn() | 
|  | * Re-enable writting utmp/wtmp for boot scripts | 
|  | * Provide a simply /etc/pam.d/init as without it will not work (sigh!) |

|  | * Improve handling of IPv6 addresses in last.  Patch from Fedora. | 
|  | * Document last options in usage information, previously only | 
|  | mentioned in the manual page. | 
|  | * Add new option -F to last, to output full date string instead | 
|  | of the short form provided by default.  Patch from Olaf Dabrunz | 
|  | and SuSe. | 
|  | * Adjust build rules to make sure the installed binaries | 
|  | are stripped. | 
|  | * Increase the compiler warning level when building. | 
|  | * Fix utmp/wtmp updating on 64-bit platforms.  Patch by Bill |

|  | * Make sure to use execle and no execl when passing environment to | 
|  | the new process.  Patch from RedHat. | 
|  | * Correct init to make sure the waiting status is preserved across | 
|  | re-exec.  Patch from RedHat. | 
|  | * Correct init to avoid race condition when starting programs during | 
|  | boot.  Patch from SuSe. | 
|  | * Allow 'telinit u' in runlevels 0 and 6.  Patch from Thomas Hood. |

|  | Srivastava, adjusted to avoid aborting if SE policy was loaded in | 
|  | the initrd with patch from Bill Nottingham and Fedora. | 
|  | * Add -c option to pidof for only matching processes with the same | 
|  | process root.  Ignore -c when not running as root.  Patch from | 
|  | Thomas Woerner and Fedora. | 
|  | * Adjust init to terminate argv0 with one 0 rather than two so that | 
|  | process name can be one character longer.  Patch by Kir Kolyshkin. | 
|  | * Make sure bootlogd exit with non-error exit code when forking of | 
|  | the child successfully. | 
|  | * Add bootlogd option -s to make it possible to control the use of | 
|  | fdatasync().  Patch from Thomas Hood. | 
|  | * Add bootlogd option -c to tell it to create the log file if it does | 
|  | not exist.  Patch from Thomas Hood. | 
|  | * Let bootlogd also look at ttyB* devices to work on HPPA.  Patch | 
|  | from Thomas Hood. | 
|  | * Change init to use setenv() instead of putenv, make sure the PATH | 
|  | value is usable on re-exec.  Patch from Thomas Hood. | 
|  | * Add usleep in killall5 after killing processes, to force the kernel | 
|  | to reschedule.  Patch from SuSe. | 
|  | * Modify pidof to not print empty line if no pid was found. | 
|  | * Modify init and sulogin to fix emergency mode's tty, making sure ^C | 
|  | and ^Z work when booting with 'emergency' kernel option.  Patch from | 
|  | Samuel Thibault. | 
|  | * Modify init to allow some time for failed opens to resolve themselves. | 
|  | Patch from Bill Nottingham and Fedora. | 
|  | * Modify init to shut down IDE, SCSI and SATA disks properly.  Patches | 
|  | from Sebastian Reichelt, Werner Fink and SuSe. | 
|  | * Modify wall to use UT_LINESIZE from <utmp.h> instead of hardcoded | 
|  | string lengths.  Patch from SuSe. | 
|  | * Change wall to make halt include hostname in output. | 
|  | * Change killall to avoid killing init by mistake.  Patch from SuSe. | 
|  | * Change killall5 to use the exit value to report if it found any | 
|  | processes to kill.  Patch from Debian. | 
|  | * Add option -o opmitpid to killall5, to make it possible to skip | 
|  | some pids during shutdown.  Based on patch from Colin Watson and | 
|  | Ubuntu. | 
|  | * Add references between killall5 and pidof manual pages.  Patch from Debian. | 
|  | * Modify killall to work better with user space file system, by | 
|  | changing cwd to /proc when stopping and killing processes, and | 
|  | avoiding stat() when the value isn't used.  Also, lock process | 
|  | pages in memory to avoid paging when user processes are stopped. | 
|  | Patch from Debian and Goswin von Brederlow with changes by Kel | 
|  | Modderman. | 
|  | * Change shutdown to only accept flags -H and -P with the -h flag, | 
|  | and document this requirement in the manual page. | 
|  | * Change reboot/halt to work properly when used as a login shell. | 
|  | Patch by Dale R. Worley and Fedora. | 
|  | * Let sulogin fall back to the staticly linked /bin/sash if both roots | 
|  | shell and /bin/sh fail to execute. |

|  | sysvinit (2.86) cistron; urgency=low | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Fixed up bootlogd to read /proc/cmdline. Also keep an internal | 
|  | linebuffer to process \r, \t and ^H. It is becoming useable. | 
|  | * Applied trivial OWL patches | 
|  | * Block signals in syslog(), since syslog() is not re-entrant | 
|  | (James Olin Oden <joden@malachi.lee.k12.nc.us>, redhat bug #97534) | 
|  | * Minor adjustements so that sysvinit compiles on the Hurd | 
|  | * killall5 now skips kernel threads | 
|  | * Inittab entries with both 'S' and other runlevels were broken. | 
|  | Fix by Bryan Kadzban <bryan@kadzban.is-a-geek.net> | 
|  | * Changed initreq.h to be more flexible and forwards-compatible. | 
|  | * You can now through /dev/initctl set environment variables in | 
|  | init that will be inherited by its children. For now, only | 
|  | variables prefixed with INIT_ can be set and the maximum is | 
|  | 16 variables. There's also a length limit due to the size | 
|  | of struct init_request, so it should be safe from abuse. | 
|  | * Option -P and -H to shutdown set INIT_HALT=POWERDOWN and | 
|  | INIT_HALT=HALT as environment variables as described above | 
|  | * Add "mountpoint" utility. | 
|  | * Slightly better algorithm in killall5.c:pidof() | 
|  | * Added some patches from fedora-core (halt-usage, last -t, | 
|  | sulogin-message, user-console) |

|  |  | 
|  | * Add IPv6 support in last(1) | 
|  | * Sulogin: even if the root password is empty, ask for a password- | 
|  | otherwise there is no way to set a timeout. | 
|  | * Removed support for ioctl.save. | 
|  | * Turned of support for /etc/initrunlvl and /var/run/initrunlvl | 
|  | * Fixed warts in dowall.c ("Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@altlinux.org>) | 
|  | * Fix init.c::spawn(). The "f" variable was used both as file descriptor | 
|  | and waitpid(2) return code.  In certain circumstances, this leads to | 
|  | TIOCSCTTY with wrong file descriptor (Vladimir N. Oleynik). | 
|  | * Fix fd leak in sulogin (Dmitry V. Levin). | 
|  | * More error checking in all wait() calling code (Dmitry V. Levin). | 
|  | * Fix argv[] initialization in spawn() (Dmitry V. Levin). |

|  | * Add -i/--init command line flag to init - this tells init |

|  | * Use siginterrupt, now that system calls are restarted by default. | 
|  | Main symptom was that the sulogin timeout didn't work but there | 
|  | might have been more hidden problems. | 
|  | * Kill process immidiately if turned off in inittab | 
|  | * Fixed sulogin check on tty arg. | 
|  | * Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist | 
|  | * wall now supports a '-n' option to suppress [most of] the banner. | 
|  | Debian doesn't use sysvinit's wall, but apparently Redhat does. | 
|  | * Add '-F' (forcefsck) option to shutdown | 
|  | * Close and reopen /dev/initctl on SIGUSR1 (mainly for a /dev in ram) |

|  | * remote SIGPWR broadcast? in powerd? (with priv. port) | 
|  | * remote shutdown | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.50  14-Feb-1994 | 
|  | - Ignores unknown command line arguments. | 
|  | - Modelled more after the "real" sysVinit | 
|  | - Lots of changes all over the place. | 
|  | (like showing runlevel in "ps" listing, logging | 
|  | runlevel into utmp file etc) | 
|  | - now using "reliable" signals instead of V7 style. | 
|  | - Updated all scripts. Examples are in two directories: | 
|  | etc (normal) and etc-sysv (sysv style scripts). | 
|  | - runlevel 0 = halt, 1 = single user, 6 = reboot. | 
|  | - added support for serial console. | 
|  | - updated Propaganda, manpages. | 
|  | - added shutdown access control. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.4  24-May-93 | 
|  | - Send out the official version into the world as | 
|  | SysVinit-2.4.tar.z. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.4g 15-May-93 | 
|  | - Changed init to really catch SIGPWR 'cause we | 
|  | hooked up an UPS to the Linux machine. The | 
|  | keyword for catching the TreeFingerSalute is | 
|  | now "ctrlaltdel" instead of "power{wait,fail}". | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.4a 22-Apr-93 | 
|  | - Fixed last to reckognize BSD style wtmp logging. | 
|  | - Changed init to write wtmp records that are | 
|  | SysV compliant but are also reckognized by the | 
|  | BSD last. Added a '+' option to the 'process' | 
|  | field of inittab, for getties that want to do | 
|  | their own utmp/wtmp housekeeping (kludge!). | 
|  | - Now accepts a runlevel on the command line, | 
|  | and reckognizes the 'auto' argument. (Sets the | 
|  | environment variable AUTOBOOT to YES) | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.2.3 24-Mar-93 | 
|  | - Ripped out the 'leave' action. To difficult, and | 
|  | unneeded. | 
|  | - Going single user now kills _all_ processes. | 
|  | - Added '-t secs' option to all commands. | 
|  | - This version is stable enough to post. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.2 02-Mar-93 | 
|  | - Made wait()'s asynchronous | 
|  | - Changed whole thing to one big state machine | 
|  | - Now using 'pseudo levels' # & * for SYSINIT & BOOT | 
|  | - Added a new type of 'action', called leave. This | 
|  | process will be executed when the system goes from a | 
|  | runlevel specified in it's runlevel field to a | 
|  | level that's not. Nice to bring down NFS and the like. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.1 28-Jan-93 | 
|  | - Fixed a bug with 'boot' and 'once'. | 
|  | - Check 'initdefault' for validity. | 
|  | - Reckognizes "single" as command line argument. | 
|  | - Retries execvp with 'sh -c exec ..' if command | 
|  | is a shell script. (shouldn't execvp do this?) | 
|  | - Added patches to use syslog if defined. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 2.0 08-Dec-92 | 
|  | - Rewrote the code totally, so started with a new | 
|  | version number. | 
|  | - Dropped Minix support, this code now is Linux - specific. | 
|  | - With TEST switch on, this init & telinit can | 
|  | run standalone for test purposes. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 1.3, 05-Jul-92 | 
|  | - Got a 386, so installed Linux. Added 'soft' reboot | 
|  | to be default under linux. Fixed some typos. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 1.2, 16-Jun-92 | 
|  | - Bugreport from Michael Haardt ; removed deadlock | 
|  | and added 'waitpid' instead of 'wait' for SYSV. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 1.1, 30-Apr-92 | 
|  | - Read manual wrong: there is no 'action' field called | 
|  | process, but all entries are of type process. Every | 
|  | 'process' get exec'ed by /bin/sh -c 'exec command'. | 
|  | - Rapidly respawning processes are caught in the act. | 
|  | - _SYSV support is really Linux support, | 
|  | done by poe@daimi.aau.dk on 25-Mar-92. | 
|  |  | 
|  | 1.0, 01-Feb-92 | 
|  | - Initial version, very primitive for the Minix | 
|  | operating system. Required some mods. to the | 
|  | kernel. | 
|  |  |
