It's not a POSIX-compliant ps implementation. Anyway, initramfs-tools doesn't need it. > > > nuke > > This is "rm -rf -- FILE". Should not be necessary. klibc-utils doesn't implemnt rm, only nuke. busybox could install nuke in the initramfs as a wrapper for rm. > > > resume > > Writes "maj:min:offset" to /sys/power/resume. > Looks like this is support for resume from disk?

Later on we needed validation of the init filename to support symlinks (e.g. /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd), so I added and used the -n (dry run) option to run-init. busybox would need to support both of these. > If you want "resume" and "ipconfig" in bbox, I can do that.
