SYNOPSIS

10       initng
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Initng is a full replacement of the old and  in  many  ways  deprecated
14       sysvinit tool. It is designed with speed in mind, doing as much as pos‐
15       sible asynchronously. In other words: It  will  boot  your  unix-system
16       much faster, and give you more control and statistics over your system.
17
18       The  basic  premise is that startup commands can be launched as soon as
19       their dependencies are met. This limits the effect of bottlenecks  like
20       I/O  operations;  while  one  program is performing I/O, another can be
21       utilizing the processor.  Initng tracks the individual  service  depen‐
22       dencies in its configuration files.
23
24       It  is  designed  to use a minimum of system resources and to boot your
25       system quickly and safely.
26
27       lilo users need to add the line 'append="init=/sbin/initng"'  in  their
28       /etc/lilo.conf, grub users can just append 'init=/sbin/initng' to their
29       "kernel image options" line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
30

OPTIONS

32       Initng is the first process the kernel starts. It  has  no  parameters.
