# Content

5 with sysv scripts.
6
7 1.1 Sat Dec 7 22:47:17 CET 2002
8 - fixed clean_misc to only remove files, not dirs, from /var/{run,pid}.
9 - renamed rcdir to RCDIR and changed default to /etc.
10 - updated rc.values.isl.
11 - new variables SYSV_EXEC and SYSV_FAC, which default to $SYSVINIT.
12 - SYSV_FAC makes all sysvinit-facilities available as normal facilities.
13
14 1.0 Sun Oct 20 15:43:54 CEST 2002
15 - updated safe_remount to work better and with more kernels.
16 - renamed shinit.c to lmainit.c.
17 - updated example rc.values.
18 - updated to bash-2.05b, which renamed functions (for good reasons!).
19 - "sh"-facility now executes command on start AND stop, prefix
20 with + and - to suppress.
21
22 0.9 Sat Nov 17 18:13:06 CET 2001
23 - safe_eval (used to execute many shell commands)
24 no longer eval'ualates it's arguments.
25
26 0.8 Tue Sep 25 02:35:18 CEST 2001
27 - new dhcpd, rpc_statd facilities.
28 - /var/pid changed to /var/run.
29 - new facility automount that parses /etc/auto.master.
30 - Lukas Grunwald kindly contributed quota.fac.
31 - support for raidtools.
32 - defalias now correctly creates links in mklinks.
33 - added my personal tmp-cleaning script.
34
35 0.7 Wed Jan 31 14:34:23 CET 2001
36 - safe_remount::umount now tries to umount even read-only filesystems.
37 NOTE: safe_remount will *still* leave filesystems mounted only read-only!
38 - most absolute paths removed
39 - facility now supports --help/--version/--list args
40 (undocumented in 0.6)
41 - run_daemon is now known as daemonize
42 - simpledaemon now uses eval instead of run_daemon, so
43 your command MUST fork itself (use daemonize)
44 - major decrease in pid usage, might be faster or slower (set COALESCE=0
45 for even more savings).
46 - boot with SINGLESTEP=1 on your commandline to single-step
47 through all runlevel changes
48 - most settings (e.g. CONSOLE) can now be overriden from the
49 kernel commandline
50 - CONSOLE is now inherited from init (I highly recommend to set it to
51 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 in your rc.values as init likes to start lma-init
52 below X....)
53 - interesting new facility userrc ;)
54
55 0.6 Wed Dec 27 23:36:48 CET 2000
56 - cosmetic changes, bugfixes
57 - when COALESCE=1 (default), lma-init will not stop and
58 start daemons needlessly when switching runlevels.
59 - new shinit.so command "str2hex"
60 - major speed improvements
61 - inet1 is now known as hostname
62 - inet2 is now known as fw
63 - enddef is obsolete, use "end" instead
64 - facilities can now set $ERR to an error message
65
66 0.5
67 - more fixes and updates to the facilities
68 - facilities can now be prefixed with + or -
69 to allow for asymmetric calls (e.g. start sshd before network
70 is up but kill it before it goes down)
71
72 0.4
73 - small bugfixes (many)
74 - a lot more and more useful facilities.
75
76 0.3
77 - small bugfixes
78 - added new facilities by Lukas Grunwald <lukas@dnx.de>
79 - most services now expect non-standard programs (mysqld, smbd etc..)
80 in the current PATH, so better set it.
81 - added lpd facility
82
83 0.2
84 - fix facility window resizing bug
85 - updated inittab
86 - updated reset(), new variable RESET, to reset the screen after booting

88 - try to detach from the ctty for setsid builtin
89 - added SYSTEMSTOP to reboot (no umount otherwise)
90 - added usleep builtin
91 - added syncalot::3 to runlevel 0, due to too many complaints
92 of laptop users where powering down too early....
