`my_init` crashes entire Mac OS 10.9.2 system about baseimage-docker HOT 4 CLOSED

Oh, right…

finally:
    if args.kill_all_on_exit:
        kill_all_processes(KILL_ALL_PROCESSES_TIMEOUT)

def kill_all_processes(time_limit):
    info("Killing all processes...")
    try:
        os.kill(-1, signal.SIGTERM)

That'd do it :)

It's possible that my_init should only kill its own child / descendant processes. But in the normal use-case, that's the entire system, so perhaps there's no need to add that complexity.

Yes. Don't run my_init except in a container. It's specifically designed for use in a Docker container.

I tend to test my_init like this:

docker run -t -i -v `pwd`/image:/image phusion/baseimage:xxx /image/my_init [...]

Makes sense :)
