Bug 635326 – sys-apps/openrc symlinks for reboot, shutdon, poweroff

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Joakim Tjernlund 2017-10-24 16:53:25 UTC]

I am testing openrc-init and I miss my reboot/poweroff/shutdown cmds.
Can openrc-shutdown accept symlinks like:
ls -l reboot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 24 18:40 reboot -> openrc-shutdown

and emulate the old reboot/poweroff/shutdown cmds?

There are scripts upstream which can act as wrappers that will emulate
poweroff, shutdown and reboot.

I haven't enabled this in Gentoo because it would require you to remove
sysvinit from your system, and I'm not sure we want to go there yet.

Not yet, but one could hide these scripts/symlinks behind a USE flag and
there force rm of sysvinit. That would make me happy anyway as I find
it hard to even think of replacing sysvinit without this.

What is missing in openrc to replace sysvinit(except bugs)?

Any way one can supress the "Starting ..." msg?
The init.d start msg for agetty clobbers the agetty login prompt

The Agetty script is quiet in OpenRC-0.33 and newer.

Ping?

We aren't quite there yet. I need to add selinux support to openrc-init
before I say it is fully compatible.
