Title: /etc/runit/2 What is this file?
Post by: Normando on July 27, 2008, 07:10:47 AM

Under /etc/runit I found a file named "2" (number two, without quotes) and with the following content:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/command:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

exec </dev/null
exec runsvdir -P /service 'log: ..........................................with more than 350 dots.

I can't remember anything similar, but found in two servers, so I think there is no hack or something.

I think that file is an emergency shell or something, if you do rpm -qf you can see what package it came from.

PS. Always give a better subject title ;)

It is actually the file/program that inittab is running.  That is the main runit script that inittab keeps track of and then runit keeps track of most of our daemons to ensure they are running.  See /etc/inittab.

sv:7:respawn:/etc/runit/2

[BTW, those are the first two hits when you google for /etc/runit/2.]
