> When your system boots up the kernel is executing a given binary in its known namespace. To see what are the only tasks the application running as pid 1 has to do, see sinit. Just wait for child process to reap and run some other init scripts.

- stonewareslord 6y agoDid you read the source of sinit? It's an example of what init can look like. Check out the <90 source code here: https://git.suckless.org/sinit/file/sinit.c.html https://git.suckless.org/sinit/file/sinit.c.html I don’t think they’re trying to push sinit as a replacement, they’re showing just how bloated their init system has gotten.
