Hi folks,


I'd like to speciy my own init program for an VPS, so I can run
my own setup stuff (before the actual init is called) without
touching /sbin/init.

How can I change the init command per VPS ?


thx

Just move /sbin/init to /sbin/init.real, and put your own prog as
/sbin/init :) Later you can restore it back.

Other way is to modify vzctl :)

I'm already doing so, but I dont what to touch the original
/sbin/init (leave it in place).

So that's the way to go. I'll add an new option for specifying
the init program.

On Debian systems, you can use dpkg-divert to ensure that package
updates do not overwrite your custom /sbin/init.
