Package: finit-plugins (4.7-1 and others)

Fast init for Linux systems - plugins

Finit is a simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, reverse engineered from the EeePC fastinit. Focus is on small and embedded systems, although Finit is fully usable on server and desktop systems as well.

This package contains a set of plugins:

  * alsa-utils.so: Restore and save ALSA sound settings on startup/shutdown.
  * bootmisc.so: Setup necessary files and system directories for, e.g., UTMP
    (tracks logins at boot).
  * dbus.so: Setup and start system message bus, D-Bus, at boot.
  * hook-scripts.so: Trigger the execution of scripts from plugin hook points.
  * rtc.so: Restore and save system clock from/to RTC on boot/halt.
  * modules-load.so: Scans /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf for modules to load using
    modprobe.
  * netlink.so: Listens to Linux kernel Netlink events for gateway and
    interfaces.
  * resolvconf.so: Setup necessary files for resolvconf at startup.
  * tty.so: Watches /dev, using inotify, for new device nodes (TTY's) to
    start/stop getty consoles on them on demand.
  * urandom.so: Setup random seed at startup.
  * x11-common.so: Setup necessary files for X-Window.
