BusyBox
BusyBox provides many common UNIX utilities in a single small executable for embedded systems. The community package includes runit, see runit for more information.
Note: Do not expect full drop-in replacement and compatibility. Certain utilities may not exist and for those that do, there may be missing options.
Installation
Busybox commands are symbolic links to /usr/bin/busybox and thus take very little space. This is especially interesting for low-footprint systems.
Usage
init
Init scripts can be used together with busybox-init, for example minirc-gitAUR. See init for details.
getty
The gettys are defined in the file /etc/inittab, By default getty is started on ttys 1 through 4.
In order to enable/disable gettys, you just put this line in /etc/inittab.
tty2::respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty2 linux
Just replace tty2 with the tty, you want getty to start on. If you want init to ask you before starting the gettty, then replace with .
mdev
See Gentoo:mdev.
runit
See runit.
