hi all, i am using fedora distribution. i want to deploy runit on my distribution. i have following changes in my distribution. mkdir /etc/runit/services in this directory i have created directories for service cpuspeed, getty and bash prompt to emulate runlevel 1 of sys V init. ls /etc/runit/services cpuspeed getty1 getty2 getty3 getty4 getty5 bash in each directory i have created a run script and a supervise directory. ls services/cpuspeed run supervise here is the format of run script --------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash exec /etc/rc.d/init.d/cpuspeed start ------------------------------------------- like this i have prepared other directories getty and bash supervise directory contains following empty files control lock ok pid stat status now it is turn of scripts 1 and 2 in script /etc/runit/1 #!/bin/bash PATH=/command:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin export PATH /etc/rc.sysinit ----------------------------------------------- in script /etc/runit/2 #!/bin/bash PATH=/command:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin export PATH runsvdir -P /var/services ---------------------------------------------- ln -s /etc/runit/runlevels/runlevel1 /var/services /etc/runit/runlevels directory contains directory of runlevel1 runlevel2 in directory runlevel1 there is link to services directories described above, at kernel command line i have changed init=/sbin/runit Problem: ====== as the system starts up, stage 1 starts nicely and rc.sysinit scripts does it works. but problem occurs at stage2 . In stage2 run scripts of each services directories executes in infinite loop and i cannot get the bash shell. at time of bash script, error is " no job control ". here is endless loop of run scripts of each service directories. i have navigated web but i cannot get any help. Please help me fix this problem. so i can simulate each runlevel. regds Amrish Purohit
