Re: Linuxrc runs with PID 7

Firstly, a /linuxrc script can't be PID 1. Check the bottom of do_basic_setup in init/main.c: pid = kernel_thread(do_linuxrc, "/linuxrc", SIGCHLD); Since do_basic_setup is already PID 1, /linuxrc won't be. If you need /linuxrc to be PID 1, don't call it /linuxrc, but /sbin/init

Linuxrc runs with PID 7

This is a followup question to my previous question "Why isn't init at PID 1." Previoulsy I was calling init from within linuxrc. Linuxrc was a sash script, so the sash script supposedly had PID 1. Now I've removed the script and have a C program for linuxrc. I'm still not running at PID 1 but
