<h2><a name='sect0'>Name</a></h2>
runit - a UNIX process no 1
<h2><a name='sect1'>Synopsis</a></h2>
<b>runit</b>
<h2><a name='sect2'>Description</a></h2>
<b>runit</b> must be run
as Unix process no 1. It performs the system’s booting, running, and shutdown
in three stages:
<h2><a name='sect3'>Stage 1</a></h2>
<b>runit</b> runs <i>/etc/runit/1</i> and waits for it to terminate.
The system’s one time tasks are done here. <i>/etc/runit/1</i> has full control
of <i>/dev/console</i> to be able to start an emergency shell if the one time
initialization tasks fail. If <i>/etc/runit/1</i> crashes, or exits 100, <b>runit</b>
will skip stage 2 and enter stage 3.
<h2><a name='sect4'>Stage 2</a></h2>
<b>runit</b> runs <i>/etc/runit/2</i>, which
should not return until system shutdown; if it crashes, or exits 111, it
will be restarted. Normally <i>/etc/runit/2</i> starts <i><b>runsvdir</b>(8)</i>. <b>runit</b> is able
to handle the ctrl-alt-del keyboard request in stage 2, see below.
<h2><a name='sect5'>Stage 3</a></h2>
If
<b>runit</b> is told to shutdown the system, or stage 2 returns, it terminates
stage 2 if it is running, and runs <i>/etc/runit/3</i>. The systems tasks to shutdown
and possibly halt or reboot the system are done here. If stage 3 returns,
<b>runit</b> checks if the file <i>/etc/runit/reboot</i> exists and has the execute by
owner permission set. If so, the system is rebooted, it’s halted otherwise.
<h2><a name='sect6'>Ctrl-alt-del</a></h2>
If <b>runit</b> receives the ctrl-alt-del keyboard request and the file
<i>/etc/runit/ctrlaltdel</i> exists and has the execute by owner permission set,
<b>runit</b> runs <i>/etc/runit/ctrlaltdel</i>, waits for it to terminate, and then sends
itself a CONT signal.
<h2><a name='sect7'>Signals</a></h2>
<b>runit</b> only accepts signals in stage 2. <p>
If <b>runit</b>
receives a CONT signal and the file <i>/etc/runit/stopit</i> exists and has the
execute by owner permission set, <b>runit</b> is told to shutdown the system. <p>
if
<b>runit</b> receives an INT signal, a ctrl-alt-del keyboard request is triggered.
