sinit - suckless init

sinit is a simple init. It was initially based on Rich Felker's minimal init[1].

Why?

I wanted to get rid of Busybox init on my toy distro[2].

How?

There are 3 signals that sinit will act on.

  SIGUSR1: powers off the machine.
  SIGINT:  reboots the machine (or alternatively via ctrl-alt-del).
  SIGCHLD: reap children

To see how sinit integrates with the init scripts, then have a look at [3].
