	3 .Os
	4 .Sh NAME
	5 .Nm sinit
	6 .Nd simple init
	7 .Sh DESCRIPTION
	8 .Nm
	9 is a simple init. It is configured by modifying
	10 .Dq config.h
	11 and recompiling the code.
	12 .Ss Init sequence
	13 By default
	14 .Nm
	15 will execute
	16 .Dq /bin/rc.init .
	17 You can chain your init scripts together at that point to allow for
	18 single-user and multi-user operation.
	19 .Ss Signal handling
	20 .Nm
	21 will respond to the following signals:
	22 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxx
	23 .It USR1
	24 Default action is to initiate the shutdown sequence by
	25 executing
	26 .Dq /bin/rc.shutdown poweroff .
	27 .It INT
	28 Default action is to initiate the reboot sequence by
	29 executing
	30 .Dq /bin/rc.shutdown reboot .
	31 .It CHLD
	32 Reap children.
	33 .El
	34 .Ss General considerations
	35 Running the
	36 .Dq rc.shutdown
	37 script directly is not recommended. If any
	38 process in your session has stale filesystem references then it is
	39 likely your init scripts will fail to unmount the filesystem cleanly.
	40 It is recommended to signal
	41 .Nm
	42 via a wrapper script.
	43 .Pp
	44 .Nm
	45 does not clear utmp records. The version of
	46 .Xr getty 8
	47 in ubase clears the utmp entries on the specified tty before it
	48 spawns the given program, usually
	49 .Xr login 1 .
	50 .Pp
	51 .Nm
	52 does not restart
	53 .Xr getty 8
	54 or interact with it in any way. You will need an external
	55 respawning mechanism to restart it.
