is the first process the kernel starts. If <B>runit-init</B> is started as process
no 1, it runs and replaces itself with <B><I>runit</B>(8)</I>. <P>
If <B>runit-init</B> is started
while the system is up, it must be either called as <B>init 0</B> or <B>init 6:</B> 
<DL>

<DT><B>init
0</B> </DT>
<DD>tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal
<B><I>runit</B>(8)</I> the system halt request, the <I>/etc/runit/reboot</I> file is removed
and <I>/etc/runit/stopit</I> is touched. Then a CONT signal is sent to <B><I>runit</B>(8)</I>.
</DD>

<DT><B>init 6</B> </DT>
<DD>tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system. To
signal <B><I>runit</B>(8)</I> the system reboot request, the <I>/etc/runit/reboot</I> and <I>/etc/runit/stopit</I>
files are touched. Then a CONT signal is sent to <B><I>runit</B>(8)</I>. </DD>
