| 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. |

| * 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. |

| * 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 not 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. |

| Patch by Thomas Hood. |
| * Improve handling of IPv6 addresses in last. Patch from Fedora. |
| * Document last options in usage information, previously only |
| mentioned in the manual page. |

| some pids during shutdown. Based on patch from Colin Watson and |
| Ubuntu. |
| * Add references between killall5 and pidof manual pages. Patch from Debian. |

| 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. |

| |
| * 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). |
| * Change strncpy to strncat in most places (Dmitry V. Levin). |

| - Ignores unknown command line arguments. |
| - Modelled more after the "real" sysVinit |

| (like showing runlevel in "ps" listing, logging |
| runlevel into utmp file etc) |

| |
| 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. |

| - 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. |
