You've heard from the Debian systemd maintainers. You haven't heard from the Debian sysvinit maintainers. Their subtly different position on /run/initctl, exemplified by Roger Leigh (one of those maintainers) writing in 2012, is this: > The protocol is private and undocumented, so there should be > no third-party users. The location is hard-coded directly into the > binaries and is likely only intended to be used by sysvinit > binaries. systemd is an exception to this rule, and I would > suspect the only one. -- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657990#57 M. Leigh's suspicion is wrong today, however. The nosh package and Joachim Nilsson's finit both also have compatibility shims that listen on /dev/initctl or /run/initctl .
