Runlevels
The runit program runit is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service supervision, a replacement for sysvinit, and other init schemes. It runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, MacOSX, Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other Unix operating systems. If runit runs for you on any other operating system, please let me know. runit is discussed on the <supervision@list.skarnet.org> mailing list. Please contact this list and not me privately. To subscribe send an empty email to <supervision-subscribe@list.skarnet.org>. Mailing list archives are available at skarnet.org, and gmane.org. The program runit is intended to run as Unix process no 1, it is automatically started by the runit-init /sbin/init-replacement if this is started by the kernel. runit performs the system's booting, running and shutting down in three stages:
The program runit-init is intended to replace /sbin/init. The command init 0 tells runit to halt the system, and init 6 to reboot. Runlevels are handled through the runsvdir and runsvchdir programs. Service dependencies are resolved automatically. runit is optimized for reliability and small size. The amount of code in process no 1 should be minimal. See How to install runit for installing runit, and How to replace init for configuring runit to run as process no 1. See How to use with current init if you want to use runit without replacing the current init scheme. Please read the list of Frequently asked questions with answers. If runit on Linux is compiled and linked with the dietlibc, it yields in a statically linked runit binary of 8.5k size and this ps axuw output on my system: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.0 20 16 ? S 2002 0:02 runitI recommend doing this; for instructions, see How to use dietlibc. The following distributions are known to include or package runit:
runit in use: I replaced sysvinit successfully with runit on several server systems and a laptop running Debian/GNU Linux sarge, woody, and potato. Here is an example:
