2003-04-24There have been many reports of init failing to reboot and/or failing to haltEric Andersen
over the years. Well I finally took the time to track this down. It turns out that inside linux/kernel/sys.c the kernel will call machine_halt(); do_exit(0); when halting, or will call machine_power_off(); do_exit(0); during a reboot. Unlike sysv init, we call reboot from within the init process, so if the call to machine_halt() or machine_power_off() returns, the call to do_exit(0) will cause the kernel to panic. Which is a very bad thing to happen. So I just added this little patch to fork and call the reboot syscall from within the forked child process, thereby neatly avoiding the problem. But IMHO, both calls to do_exit(0) within linux/kernel/sys.c are bugs and should be fixed. -Erik

2002-12-17Odd. I never brought this forward from bb.stable. Should handleEric Andersen
reaping child processes better. -Erik

2002-12-05Yet another major rework of the BusyBox config system, using the considerablyEric Andersen
modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may have made some mistakes, so watch closely. -Erik

2002-10-22I committed the fflush in the wrong spot. I should go to bedEric Andersen
earlier so I don't screw up such easy stuff. -Erik
2002-10-22Be absurdly careful about flushing stdout.Eric Andersen
2002-10-12After thinking about it, I think this patch from Matt Kraai is probably theEric Andersen
best way to go. Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't even try to open ttys for apps. We do. So we should _try_ to provide a controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work. This way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right Thing(tm).
2002-10-10last_patch61 from vodz:Eric Andersen
New complex patch for decrease size devel version. Requires previous patch. Also removed small problems from dutmp and tar applets. Also includes vodz' last_patch61_2: Last patch correcting comment for #endif and more integrated with libbb (very reduce size if used "cat" applet also). Requires last_patch61 for modutils/config.in.

2002-09-25Ignoring SIGCHLD causes a race leading to the occasional hang of initEric Andersen
when init will wait() on itself in waitfor() when the child exits before init is scheduled to run. Letting init hang is very seriously bad. -Erik

2002-07-29Patch from Tim Riker to allow tty* in inittab if the ttyEric Andersen
actually exists -- serial console is not the issue...
2002-07-03This is last_patch48 from vodz. More cleanups, kills a bitEric Andersen
of dead code, fixes one blatent bug.
2002-07-03Scrub pwd.h and grp.h handling so we don't have to play anyEric Andersen
silly games. -Erik
2002-07-03Apply last_patch47 from vodz to fix several problems, such as the ash "jobEric Andersen
control turned off" bug, console_setup() was called with a closed file descriptor, setsid() inconsistancy, and silly string handling bugs. I have modified his patch to allow the askfirst init actions to have a controlling terminal.

2002-04-13Update some missing copyright noticesEric Andersen
2002-04-12Completely rework the config system so that it no longer annoys me to work onEric Andersen
the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result. And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO... -Erik

2002-01-26Patch from Russ Dill <Russ.Dill@asu.edu>. From theEric Andersen
start-stop-daemon man page: -b|--background Typically used with programs that don't detach on their own. This option will force start-stop-daemon to fork before starting the process, and force it into the background. WARNING: start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for it to do this itself. This is usefull for applets like watchdog

2001-12-18Vodz' last_patch31Eric Andersen
Very minimal last corrections: 1) busybox.c: fix warining 2) docs/: add applets for list from pwd_grp 3) usage.h: add -n option for route 4) run_parts.c: many todo fix for busybox style 5) addgroup.c: add #ifdef CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS, reduce one perror_msg 6) adduser.c: fix bug "variable i not initialize" and add #ifdef CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS

2001-12-06If find_pid_by_name() had an error, it was returning -1, but storingEric Andersen
that into a pid_t, which is unsigned on a number archs. Furthermore, find_pid_by_name() would _never_ return an error if the intended proces was "init", but instead would return 1, meaning we would fail to work on 2.4.x kernels running an initrd... -Erik
