:), though I hadn't heard about it despite being on the Busybox list.
A lot of the people over there are *at least* as o
cake:
most of the functionality that's implemented in shell functions calling
several external helpers in sysv-rc is instead handled in a fairly small
multi-call binary.
And it works close enough to sysv-rc overall that it's fairly easy to
make the move...only a lot of the things that were less obvious now have
simple tools.

I will note, however, that you currently need to make one small change
in nlmon.c before compiling it:
change "write(0," to "write(1,".
This example can be run from a user session; if one prefers,
t, though that isn't quite perfect.
(It probably doesn't do quite enough error checking, and I think the pgrep
invocation may be wrong. Also, I don't think it has a -pidfile option,
though I could add that without too much work...adding -quiet was trivial.)

Path to the network configuration script invoked by dhclient

/sbin/dhclient-script is used.
Busybox udhcpc and toybox dhcp use "-s" for this.
You could use the script to start the network tools d

I ended up finding out this as a result of making the motif frontend

It depends on lsb-core, which depends on the same version of lsb-release
and lsb-base; apparently lsb-core has been rebuilt without rebuilding
lsb-release and lsb-base, since they are unavailable.

You will need to "add" files that you want to edit *before* changing them.

You do not need to do anything other than make sure that everything has
been committed to git before you start editing; git will store the contents
of the rep
rking, and mountnfs.sh should not use paths
under /usr, because /usr could be a (possibly remote) mount.
Configuring /dev with something in /usr is particularly bad;
coincidentally, eudev was forked partly because systemd-udev started
complaining about configurations with a separate /u

etcnet-options.5 is almost enough to do something;
but the real documentation is in examples/.
Unfortunately, there's no example of how to do wireless via WPA.
I also see that it's meant to work with the hotplug scripts, and that it

sociated device disappears.
By default, udev automatically loads non-blacklisted modules based
on the hardware it detects.
On a systemd-based system, udev is mandatory; it is not a part of pid 1,
though it is built from the systemd source.
If you can figure out what module is causing the crash, you

like a standard initscript in just a few lines.
Minimal Process Management:
I'd suggest a couple changes to the wording of the list:
1. *Mount* /proc and /sys
2. Populate /dev; initialize drivers and create devices in response
to hotplug events (typically via udev, eudev, vdev, mdev)
On the whole, it's a fairly good overview.

elevant even with containers, unless you can set them up so that all
administration takes place externally.
A possible use for /sbin on a non-containerized system is to bind-mount
an empty directory over /sbin/ in a private mount namespace for all
non-administrative users.

cially about the target,
though perhaps it's excusable to acknowledge the stupidity that
some code has. (Insult the *code* if needed; not the coder, and even
more certainly not the users.) I try to delete mails and threads that

Ah, yes. "*Persistent* device names".
Personally, I've never had an occasion to use them, and figure that
loading the drivers manually in order would be enough if I wanted that.
/sys/class/net// may have the information on Linux.
