Introduction to Initng

According to initng's site, initng is a full replacement of the old and in many ways deprecated sysvinit tool created by Jimmy Wennlund. It is designed to significantly increase the speed of booting a unix-compatible system by starting processes asynchronously. Development is now handled by a team from all around the world.

Note

Before compiling initng, make sure to uninstall any previous version of initng. Otherwise the linker might pick up the wrong library causing funky and unpredictable results.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package: 

mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake .. &&
make

Install the package 

make install


Compile Startup Scripts (initg-files): 

mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake .. &&
make

Install Startup Scripts 

make install

Bootloader Configuration

LILO

Edit lilo.conf and add the line append="init=/sbin/initng" after the image specifier.

Sample LILO entry: 

image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = linux-initng
append = "init=/sbin/initng"
read-only

GRUB

Edit the grub configuration (/boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst) and append init=/sbin/initng to the kernel entry.

Sample GRUB entry: 

title linux-initng
 root (hd0,1)
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro init=/sbin/initng

You can choose the runlevel, and add/remove one service/daemon this way:

Sample GRUB entry: 

title linux-initng at runlevel named single with system/modules and without net/lo
 root (hd1,0)
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro init=/sbin/initng runlevel:single +system/modules -net/lo

Initscripts

If you are installing initng for the first time, you can use genrunlevel to automatically generate the default runlevel based on installed applications: 

genrunlevel --all

Adding services or daemons to your runlevels: To enable sound on boot, and load and save the mixerstate on shutdown and boot, you would run: 

ng-update add service/alsasound default
ng-update add service/alsasound/mixerstate default

Alternately, you can edit /etc/initng/default.runlevel or /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel to change services in your default runlevel.
