[RFC PATCH 1/1] Allow applets to be implemented as scripts

Ron Yorston rmy at pobox.com
Mon Nov 5 14:00:46 UTC 2018


Now that scripts can be embedded in the BusyBox binary it's possible
to implement applets as scripts.

Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory.  A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory.

This patch implements the 'nologin' applet as a script.

The 'embed' directory can be used for scripts that aren't intended
to be treated as applets.
