NAME

       init - a UNIX process no 1

SYNOPSIS

       init [ 0 | 6 ]

DESCRIPTION

       runit-init is the first process the kernel starts.  If runit-init is started as process no
       1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).

       If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be either called  as  init  0  or
       init 6:

       init 0 tells  the  Unix  process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system.  To signal runit(8)
              the  system  halt  request,  runit-init  removes  all  permissions  of   the   file
              /run/runit.reboot  (chmod  0), and sets the execute by owner permission of the file
              /run/runit.stopit (chmod 100).  Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).

       init 6 tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system.  To signal  runit(8)
              the  system  reboot request, runit-init sets the execute by owner permission of the
              files /run/runit.reboot and /run/runit.stopit (chmod 100). Then a  CONT  signal  is
              sent to runit(8).

EXIT CODES

       runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
