9. Execute property action in the two files parsed in step 2.

10. Enter into an indefinite loop to wait for device/property set/child process exit events. For example, if an SD card is plugined, init will receive a device add event, so it can make node for the device. Most of the important process is forked in init, so if any of them crashed, init will receive a SIGCHLD then translate it into a child process exit event, so in the loop init can handle the process exit

It will start all services whose class name equals to “default”. By default, if no class option is defined for a service, the service’s class name is “default”. So this line will start all the services in the order of position in the file by default. (BTW, you can start any service using start commands, if you like.) Any service is run as a forked process of init, take a look at the source code of service_start in device/system/init.c.

So according to the default init.rc, the following services will be executed step by step:

console: star a shell. The source is in device/system/bin/ash.

adbd: start adb daemon. The source is in device/tools/adbd. By default is disabled.

servicemanager: start binder system. The source is in device/commands/binder.

mountd: mount all fs defined in /system/etc/mountd.conf if started, receive commands through local socket to mount any fs. The source is in device/system/bin/mountd.

debuggerd: start debug system. The source is in device/system/bin/debuggerd.

rild: start radio interface layer daemon. The source is in device/commands/rind.

zygote: start Android Java Runtime and start system server. It’s the most important service. The source is in device/servers/app.

media: start AudioFlinger, MediaPlayerService and CameraService. The source is in device/commands/mediaserver.

bootsound: play the default boot sound /system/media/audio/ui/boot.mp3. The
