minit(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  minit(8)

NAME

       minit - a UNIX process no 1

SYNOPSIS

       minit

DESCRIPTION

       minit is a possible first process the kernel starts

       to use minit as system init, first read available documentation in /usr/share/doc/minit and then add the parameter init=/sbin/minit to your
       kernel command line.

       lilo users need to add it to the append="something" option in /etc/lilo.conf,

       grub users can just append it to their "kernel image options" lines.

USAGE

       minit will by default do nothing except starting the minit service defined in  /etc/minit/default  which  usually  contains  a  file  named
       depends specifying which services are to be started at bootup.

BOOTCHARTD(1)						      General Commands Manual						     BOOTCHARTD(1)

NAME

       bootchartd - collects process information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics

SYNOPSIS

       bootchartd [start|stop] [bootchart_init=INIT]

DESCRIPTION

       bootchartd  collects  process  information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc/ file system.  The accumulated log file
       may later be visualized using bootchart(1).

       bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process for the purpose of speeding it up.  In this case, it is started by  the	kernel	as
       the  init  process.  This is configured by adding the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line -- either interactively or by
       editing the bootloader's configuration file. Please refer to the documentation of your bootloader for details (e.g. lilo, grub or yaboot).

       After bootchartd is initialized during the boot process, it will start the default init process (/sbin/init) to proceed	with  the  regular
       bootup.	If, however, an alternative init process is used (e.g. (/sbin/initng), that process may be specified using the bootchart_init=INIT
       kernel command line parameter.

       Another possibility for using bootchartd is monitoring the resource usage of a specific application or the running system in  general.	In
       this case, bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start and stopped using bootchartd stop.
