   6# Note, BusyBox init doesn't support runlevels.  The runlevels field is
   7# completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want runlevels, use sysvinit.
   8#
   9#
  10# Format for each entry: <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
  11#
  12# <id>: WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init!
  13#
  14#       The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for
  15#       the specified process to run on.  The contents of this field are
  16#       appended to "/dev/" and used as-is.  There is no need for this field to
  17#       be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results.  If this
  18#       field is left blank, then the init's stdin/out will be used.
  19#
  20# <runlevels>: The runlevels field is completely ignored.
  21#
  22# <action>: Valid actions include: sysinit, wait, once, respawn, askfirst,
  23#                                  shutdown, restart and ctrlaltdel.
  24#
  25#       sysinit actions are started first, and init waits for them to complete.
  26#       wait actions are started next, and init waits for them to complete.
  27#       once actions are started next (and not waited for).
  28#
  29#       askfirst and respawn are started next.
  30#       For askfirst, before running the specified process, init displays
  31#       the line "Please press Enter to activate this console"
  32#       and then waits for the user to press enter before starting it.
  33#
  34#       shutdown actions are run on halt/reboot/poweroff, or on SIGQUIT.
  35#       Then the machine is halted/rebooted/powered off, or for SIGQUIT,
  36#       restart action is exec'ed (init process is replaced by that process).
  37#       If no restart action specified, SIGQUIT has no effect.
  38#
  39#       ctrlaltdel actions are run when SIGINT is received
  40#       (this might be initiated by Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination).
  41#       After they complete, normal processing of askfirst / respawn resumes.
  42#
  43#       Note: unrecognized actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit
  44#       an error message, and then go along with its business.
  45#
  46# <process>: Specifies the process to be executed and it's command line.
  47#
  48# Note: BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab is
  49# found, it has the following default behavior:
  50#       ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
  51#       ::askfirst:/bin/sh
  52#       ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
  53#       ::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a
  54#       ::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
  55#       ::restart:/sbin/init
  56#       tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
  57#       tty3::askfirst:/bin/sh
  58#       tty4::askfirst:/bin/sh
  59#
  60# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
  61# This is run first except when booting in single-user mode.
  62#
  63::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
  64
  65# /bin/sh invocations on selected ttys
  66#
  67# Note below that we prefix the shell commands with a "-" to indicate to the
  68# shell that it is supposed to be a login shell.  Normally this is handled by
  69# login, but since we are bypassing login in this case, BusyBox lets you do
  70# this yourself...
  71#
  72# Start an "askfirst" shell on the console (whatever that may be)
  73::askfirst:-/bin/sh
