I want to figure out what is exactly going on in init process (/sbin/init) of Linux, but it is quite hard to find one. Could you tell me who maintains the source code of init process?
It depends on Linux version. Traditionally, sysvinit
was used.
From 2006 to 2015-ish, some Linux distros used upstart
.
Today, almost all Linux distros are using systemd
.
