# Note, BusyBox init doesn't support runlevels. The runlevels field is
8
# completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want runlevels, use sysvinit.
11
# Format for each entry: <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
13
# <id>: WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init!
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.
24
# <runlevels>: The runlevels field is completely ignored.
26
# <action>: Valid actions include: sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait, and once.
28
# Note: askfirst acts just like respawn, but before running the specified
29
# process it displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this
30
# console." and then waits for the user to press enter before starting
31
# the specified process.
33
# Note: unrecognised actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit
34
# an error message, and then go along with its business.
36
# <process>: Specifies the process to be executed and it's command line.
38
# Note: BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab
39
# is found, it has the following default behavior:
40
# ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
42
# if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will also run:
43
# tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
47
# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
48
# This is run first except when booting in single-user mode.
50
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
52
# /bin/sh invocations on selected ttys
54
# Start an "askfirst" shell on the console (whatever that may be)
56
# Start an "askfirst" shell on /dev/tty2
57
tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
59
# /sbin/getty invocations for selected ttys
61
tty4::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
62
tty5::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
