Modified initialization
The
sinit(P_ADM)
process replaces
init(M)
and the networking daemons for clients. After initialization, sinit
cleans up zombie children, provides UPS support (see the
upsd(P_ADM)
manual page) and handles orderly shutdown; other functionality associated with
init is not available. sinit helps reduce the size
of the operating system, speed up the system initialization
time, and provides special functionality required by embedded systems.
For details about the networking services provided, see the
sinit(P_ADM)
manual page.
