| 08:51.08 | chille | when i'm booting my Linux system i specify init=/bin/bash to start bash instead of /sbin/init, but is there any way to send parameters to bash? for example i want bash to execute /usr/bin/startup before spawning a shell |
| 09:01.53 | peerce | um, that sounds like horrible hackery. why not use /etc/inittab properly to do what you want? |
| 09:16.56 | chille | because i don't have any init script :o |
| 09:17.37 | chille | however i solved the problem with "init=/bin/bash --init-file /usr/bin/startup" :) |

| 20:44.25 | peerce | hmmm. i'm looking at an embedded linux (tomato, running on a wrt54gs router), and I don't see any sort of startup scripting, yet it obviously launches stuff at boot. pid 1 is "init noinitrd". dmesg says... Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdblock2 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 |
| 20:44.38 | peerce | so wtf is it getting the startup sequence from? |
| 20:52.53 | roxfan | you have any files in / ? |
| 20:53.33 | peerce | just the usual dirs |
| 20:53.38 | roxfan | hmm |
| 20:53.53 | peerce | and nothing script-like or inittab-like in /etc or /rom/etc |
| 20:54.02 | roxfan | well, maybe the kernel has some hardcoded filename it runs |
| 20:54.28 | peerce | pid 1 is init, so I'd assume its init thats doing it. maybe the inittab is linked into init ? |
| 20:56.09 | roxfan | ah, interesting |
| 20:56.14 | roxfan | "The actual `noinitrd' argument determines what happens to the initrd data after the kernel has booted. " |
| 20:56.37 | roxfan | so i guess it does execute stuff from ramdisk |
| 20:56.41 | peerce | presumably, thats referring to an initial ramdrive ? |
| 20:56.53 | peerce | ah, and thats been discarded by the time I see it |
| 20:57.11 | peerce | I suppose I should pull down a source tree and build this thing to do see what goes into it |
| 20:57.24 | roxfan | you could probably find the ramdisk inside the kernel |
| 20:57.44 | roxfan | search for gzip signature (1F 8B( |
| 20:58.51 | peerce | hmm, I don't even see the linux boot image, there's no /boot or whatever, its probably all elsewhere :-/ /rom only has /rom/etc |
| 20:59.04 | roxfan | probably a separate flash partition |
| 20:59.11 | roxfan | check /proc/mtd |
| 20:59.25 | peerce | wait, there's a /tmp/etc and others too... |
| 20:59.49 | peerce | ah, mtd0-4, pmon, linux, rootfs, jffs, nvram |
| 21:00.33 | peerce | linux (mtd1) is probably the boot, eh? |
| 21:00.41 | roxfan | you can copy /dev/mtdN to get those |
| 21:11.57 | peerce | hmm. i forget how to grep for binary values :-/ |

| 23:46.03 | chille | is there any c function to get the uptime with better precision than seconds? |
| 23:49.23 | roxfan | /proc/uptime gives two decimals after the period |
| 23:57.38 | roxfan | it seems you can use http://linux.die.net/man/3/clock_gettime with CLOCK_MONOTONIC |
