A recent change to init, has introduced the welcome init_exec kenv. Unfortunately "man init" indicates ambiguity as both: init_script and init_exec are run as "the very first action". So that needs a change. Due to this ambiguity I referred to the source, and init_exec is performed first. As init_script has been around for awhile, may I suggest that it be first and init_exec then take over the PID 1 position? It also suits my use case, where I have a script that does some file system work before transferring to init_exec, something I look forward to taking advantage of (rather than my current init hack) ;) Regards, Dewayne
