Visual Boot timeline/map

[batnas]

Hi

It would be cool if someone could make a timeline on the boot of TC

It would be easier for people to figure out, when scripts is executed eg. tc-config, and easier to develop new features.

It would be some bubbles with arrows and a few explanations of what thing do, or something like this:

But more extended

Or something like this:

But showing all script files like 'tc-config', and maybe includes too:

Code: [Select]

. /etc/init.d/tc-functions

IIRC it was in the 2.9 TC release thread I posted a bootchart, would it be of use?

[batnas]

Probably

I looked, but could not find it.
Can you past a link??

Yeah, it was 2.8 not 2.9.

[batnas]

Nice!

But i was more looking for a chart, that told which script the kernel is calling on startup, and what the next script called is...

Something like the 2. link i posted, but a bit more extensive....

Yeah, it was 2.8 not 2.9.

Wow!

Could that be an extension? If not, how would I go about doing what you did there?

[batnas]

I believe it is from here:
http://www.bootchart.org/

Bootchart has been unmaintained for a while. I used ubootchart, and rendered with bootchart-pl.tcz.

The daemon is not in an extension, while the renderer is. I decided against making an extension, because it cannot be used as such (not even in /opt/tce). Always requires a remaster.


I guess I'll make it available as a tarball, with wiki instructions, seeing as there's demand.

You could use /init as a starting point.
