Here is the trick: one can't simply install runit as pid1 as long as it is not Pre-depends of `init` > Failing that: I use `trayer' on my laptop as a thing to allow the > handful of desktoppy pointyclicky icony things I like, to have their > icon. Eg the network manager applet. `trayer'. For some reason, it showed nothing to me, so I installed it's ancestor `fbpanel', which provides 'shutdown' and 'reboot' buttons, which invokes corresponding scripts. Seems that 'reboot' and 'shutdown' which are /sbin/init 6 and /sbin/init 0, and ignore command line will suffice.
