reboot and initctl does not work in sulogin

[troglobit]

• At least the reboot/poweroff/shutdown/etc family of commands should work from a sulogin (rescue) session.
• Document limited operating mode of Finit (initctl) in rescue mode.

Discussed in https://github.com/troglobit/finit/discussions/243

^{Originally posted by **hongkongkiwi** April 22, 2022} So I jumped into rescue mode to test it out (I have sulogin on my system) it seems the internal finit communication doesn't work properly (is this intentional?) I noticed it as I like to type (reboot): ``` # reboot reboot: Failed connecting to finit: No such file or directory # ls -lh /sbin/reboot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 7 2021 /sbin/reboot -> initctl # which reboot /sbin/reboot ``` Same thing happens with initctl ``` # initctl status initctl: Failed connecting to finit: No such file or directory # which initctl /sbin/initctl # ls -lh /sbin/initctl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49.6K Apr 7 2021 /sbin/initctl ``` Also finit itself: ``` # finit 6 initctl: Failed connecting to finit: No such file or directory ``` Using the `exit` command works fine to continue to boot the system as normal (presumably because it's a builtin shell command)

Fixed, sort of. When using the bundled sulogin reboot(initctl) can detect it's in sulogin mode and trigger over to default to -f (force). Nothing can be done about initctl's other commands since Finit is paused in the background when running the system in this diminished mode. This has been documented.
