7# Note, BusyBox init doesn't support runlevels. The runlevels field is
8# completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want runlevels, use sysvinit.
9#
10#
11# Format for each entry: <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
12#
13# <id>: WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init!
14#
15# The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for
16# the specified process to run on. The contents of this field are
17# appended to "/dev/" and used as-is. There is no need for this field to
18# be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results. If this
19# field is left blank, it is completely ignored. Also note that if
20# BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use, then all entries
21# containing non-empty id fields will _not_ be run. BusyBox init does
22# nothing with utmp. We don't need no stinkin' utmp.
23#
24# <runlevels>: The runlevels field is completely ignored.

Erik Andersend7ce5e782000-02-09 04:40:25 +000026# <action>: Valid actions include: sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait, once,
27# and ctrlaltdel.
Erik Andersen36950522000-01-06 01:16:59 +000028#
29# Note: askfirst acts just like respawn, but before running the specified
30# process it displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this
31# console." and then waits for the user to press enter before starting
32# the specified process.
33#
34# Note: unrecognised actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit
35# an error message, and then go along with its business.
36#
37# <process>: Specifies the process to be executed and it's command line.
38#
39# Note: BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab
40# is found, it has the following default behavior:
41# ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
42# ::askfirst:/bin/sh
43# if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will also run:
44# tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
45#
46
47
48# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
49# This is run first except when booting in single-user mode.
50#
51::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
52
53# /bin/sh invocations on selected ttys
54#
55# Start an "askfirst" shell on the console (whatever that may be)
56::askfirst:/bin/sh
57# Start an "askfirst" shell on /dev/tty2
58tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
59
60# /sbin/getty invocations for selected ttys
