     16 <b>runit-init</b>
     17 is the first process the kernel starts. If <b>runit-init</b> is started as process
     18 no 1, it runs and replaces itself with <i><b>runit</b>(8)</i>. <p>
     19 If <b>runit-init</b> is started
     20 while the system is up, it must be either called as <b>init 0</b> or <b>init 6:</b>

     25 <dd>tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal
     26 <i><b>runit</b>(8)</i> the system halt request, <b>runit-init</b> removes all permissions of
     27 the file <i>/etc/runit/reboot</i> (chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission
     28 of the file <i>/etc/runit/stopit</i> (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to
     29 <i><b>runit</b>(8)</i>. </dd>

     32 <dd>tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the
     33 system. To signal <i><b>runit</b>(8)</i> the system reboot request, <b>runit-init</b> sets the
     34 execute by owner permission of the files <i>/etc/runit/reboot</i> and <i>/etc/runit/stopit</i>
     35 (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to <i><b>runit</b>(8)</i>. </dd>
