tini

Simple init daemon that spawns processes and reaps zombies

NAME

tini(1) - simple init daemon

DESCRIPTION

tini(1) is a damn small process spawner and zombie reaper.

It runs /lib/tini/scripts/rcS init script and then spawns four askfirst sh(1) on console, tty2, tty3 and tty4.

DOCUMENTATION

Build the man page using asciidoctor(1)

$ make doc
asciidoctor -b manpage -o tini.1 tini.1.adoc
gzip -c tini.1 >tini.1.gz
rm tini.1

INSTALL

Run the following command to install tini(1)

$ sudo make install

Traditional variables DESTDIR and PREFIX can be overridden

$ sudo make install PREFIX=/opt/tini

or

$ make install DESTDIR=$PWD/pkg PREFIX=/usr

TRY IT

Here is a quick example to try tini(1) on host using qemu(1)

$ make runqemu                                                                            :(
make -C tests runqemu
(...)
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel bzImage -initrd initramfs.cpio

Or using UML

$ make runuml
make -C tests runuml
(...)
vmlinux initrd=initramfs.cpio rdinit=/sbin/tini mem=256M console=tty0 con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=none
