Ocean Init
Ocean init is the first userspace process, responsible for bringing up the system and managing services throughout its lifetime.
Purpose
The init system orchestrates the transition from kernel to fully operational system. Its responsibilities include:
- System startup - Mount filesystems, configure networking, start services
- Service management - Start, stop, and monitor system services
- Process supervision - Restart failed services and manage dependencies
- System shutdown - Gracefully terminate processes and unmount filesystems
Key Features
- Dependency-based service ordering
- Parallel service startup
- Socket and device activation
- Service isolation and resource limits
- Logging integration
The following chapters describe service configuration, system targets, and management interfaces.
