4 Services and utilities
The Garz & Fricke Linux BSP includes several useful services for flexible application handling. Some of them are
just run-once services directly after the OS has been started, others are available permanently.
4.1 Services
The services on Garz & Fricke Yocto Linux systems are usually started with start scripts. This is a very common
technique on Linux systems. Yocto uses the
process after parsing the

# /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change

As the comments in the file tell, the first script to be run on boot is /etc/init.d/rcS, which executes all start scripts
in /etc/rcS.d. Afterwards, the default runlevel (5) is entered, which makes the start scripts in
executed.
All scripts starting with the character
with the character
K
are executed with the argument
that the
S/K
character is followed by a number which determines the (numeric) execution order.
The actual scripts live in the directory
to those scripts (e.g. /etc/rc5.d/S95myapp).
Those script having the following basic layout, though not all scripts in the image contain the header between
