[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#374543: sysvinit: ^C and ^Z don't work in emergency mode

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-14.1youpi
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Hi,

When booting in emergency mode (with -b or emergency option), tty
controlling sequences like ^C or ^Z don't work. The incurred unfortunate
effect is that one can't interrupt the programs one runs (like ping,
e2fsck, badblocks, ...).

This is because init doesn't initialize a session for the emergency
sulogin (like it does for single-user logins). The attached patch
corrects that (and makes sense since we indeed want to wait for the
emergency shell to end).

Please apply.

Regards,
Samuel
