We're releasing a new version of SysV init. This new release, 3.10,
provides one new feature and one bug fix, along with some clean-up to
documentation.
When the user executes "machinectl stop", systemd sends SIGRTMIN+4 to
PID 1 in the container, and expects that to initiate a graceful shutdown
(power-off). SysV init now catches this signal and initiates a shutdown
(shutdown -hP now).
Fix issue in bootlogd which could cause the service to enter an endless
loop (and use too much CPU) when it is able to open a device for
writing, but not actually able to write to it. This resulted in bootlogd
closing and re-opening the device over and over. Now bootlogd should
simply fail gracefully when it cannot write to an open file/device.
Fix formatting in shutdown.8 manual page. Cleaned up whitespace and
special characters.
The source code can be downloaded and issue reports filed at the SysV
init GitHub page: https://github.com/slicer69/sysvinit/releases/tag/3.10
