Post by: arne on September 21, 2005, 12:10:10 AM

Is there anybody who has a step by step overviw of the bootup squence og the sme 7.0 beta server ??

(I think that if you know which files and scripts that is loaded during startup, and in which order, this can help for some general understanding of the server.)

Best reg Arne.

It's a standard sysv init sequence (Google is your friend), but in run-level 7 so as to avoid modifying any underlying packages. Almost all processes are started under runit, which supervises the underlying daemon and restarts it if it dies.

For more info on runit, see:

http://smarden.org/runit/

and

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

IMO, this sort of question is more appropriate to the devinfo list.

With other words - The SME 7.0 boots like any other (RedHat) Linux except for that it enters runlevel 7. Thanks for this info.
