Summary

0000024: patch: allow init to set controlling tty

Description

busybox init will currently strip a leading '-' from the command name of programs which it invokes. shells, for instance, are sometimes specified this way in order to specify a login shell.

this patch (against 1.00) adds a config option which causes init to cause any such hyphen-prefixed program to run in its own session, with a controlling tty (if applicable). this makes it possible to write startup scripts which will properly respond to tty-based signals, aborts, etc. this behavior is non-traditional for init, but useful.
