# Daemons array

Redirected from DAEMONS array. Warning: SysVinit is not officially supported in Arch Linux [1] or Parabola in 2016+.

On systems based on SysVinit, init is the first process that is executed once the Linux kernel loads. The default init program used by the kernel is /sbin/init provided by systemd-sysvcompat (by default on new installs, see systemd) or sysvinitAUR. The word init will always refer to sysvinit in this article.

inittab is the startup configuration file for init located in /etc. It contains directions for init on what programs and scripts to run when entering a specific runlevel.

Although a SysVinit-based Arch system does use init, most of the work is delegated to the #Main Boot Scripts. This article concentrates on init and inittab.
