8 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BOOTCHARTD
12 bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process
13 for the purpose of speeding it up. In this case, it is started
14 by the kernel as the init process. This is configured by adding
15 the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line.
17 It can also be used to monitor the resource usage of a specific
18 application or the running system in general. In this case,
19 bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start
20 and stopped using bootchartd stop.
22 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_BOOTCHARTD_BLOATED_HEADER
23 bool "Compatible, bloated header"
25 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BOOTCHARTD
27 Create extended header file compatible with "big" bootchartd.
28 "Big" bootchartd is a shell script and it dumps some
29 "convenient" info int the header, such as:
30 title = Boot chart for `hostname` (`date`)
31 system.uname = `uname -srvm`
32 system.release = `cat /etc/DISTRO-release`
33 system.cpu = `grep '^model name' /proc/cpuinfo | head -1` ($cpucount)
34 system.kernel.options = `cat /proc/cmdline`
35 This data is not mandatory for bootchart graph generation,
36 and is considered bloat. Nevertheless, this option
37 makes bootchartd applet to dump a subset of it.
39 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_BOOTCHARTD_CONFIG_FILE
40 bool "Support bootchartd.conf"
42 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BOOTCHARTD
44 Enable reading and parsing of $PWD/bootchartd.conf
45 and /etc/bootchartd.conf files.
47 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
50 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
52 init is the first program run when the system boots.
54 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB
55 bool "Support reading an inittab file"
57 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
59 Allow init to read an inittab file when the system boot.
61 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_KILL_REMOVED
62 bool "Support killing processes that have been removed from inittab"
64 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB
66 When respawn entries are removed from inittab and a SIGHUP is
67 sent to init, this option will make init kill the processes
68 that have been removed.
70 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_KILL_DELAY
71 int "How long to wait between TERM and KILL (0 - send TERM only)" if FEATURE_KILL_REMOVED
74 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_KILL_REMOVED
76 With nonzero setting, init sends TERM, forks, child waits N
77 seconds, sends KILL and exits. Setting it too high is unwise
78 (child will hang around for too long and could actually kill
81 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INIT_SCTTY
82 bool "Run commands with leading dash with controlling tty"
84 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
86 If this option is enabled, init will try to give a controlling
87 tty to any command which has leading hyphen (often it's "-/bin/sh").
88 More precisely, init will do "ioctl(STDIN_FILENO, TIOCSCTTY, 0)".
89 If device attached to STDIN_FILENO can be a ctty but is not yet
90 a ctty for other session, it will become this process' ctty.
91 This is not the traditional init behavour, but is often what you want
92 in an embedded system where the console is only accessed during
93 development or for maintenance.
94 NB: using cttyhack applet may work better.
96 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INIT_SYSLOG
97 bool "Enable init to write to syslog"
99 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
101 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EXTRA_QUIET
102 bool "Be _extra_ quiet on boot"
104 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
106 Prevent init from logging some messages to the console during boot.
108 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INIT_COREDUMPS
109 bool "Support dumping core for child processes (debugging only)"
111 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
113 If this option is enabled and the file /.init_enable_core
114 exists, then init will call setrlimit() to allow unlimited
115 core file sizes. If this option is disabled, processes
116 will not generate any core files.
118 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INITRD
119 bool "Support running init from within an initrd (not initramfs)"
121 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
123 Legacy support for running init under the old-style initrd. Allows
124 the name linuxrc to act as init, and it doesn't assume init is PID 1.
126 This does not apply to initramfs, which runs /init as PID 1 and
127 requires no special support.
129 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HALT
130 bool "poweroff, halt, and reboot"
133 Stop all processes and either halt, reboot, or power off the system.
135 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CALL_TELINIT
136 bool "Call telinit on shutdown and reboot"
138 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HALT && !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INIT
140 Call an external program (normally telinit) to facilitate
141 a switch to a proper runlevel.
143 This option is only available if you selected halt and friends,
144 but did not select init.
146 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_TELINIT_PATH
147 string "Path to telinit executable"
148 default "/sbin/telinit"
149 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CALL_TELINIT
151 When busybox halt and friends have to call external telinit
152 to facilitate proper shutdown, this path is to be used when
153 locating telinit executable.
155 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MESG
159 Mesg controls access to your terminal by others. It is typically
160 used to allow or disallow other users to write to your terminal
