Problem

How to use the run_init command: Run init scripts in the proper SELinux context. Typically used to run system service scripts with correct SELinux domains. See also: runcon, semanage. More information: <https://manned.org/run_init>.

Solution

run_init — Run init scripts in the proper SELinux context. Typically used to run system service scripts with correct SELinux domains. See also: runcon, semanage. More information: <https://manned.org/run_init>.

Run a script in the init script context:

sudo run_init {{path/to/script}}

Run a script with arguments:

sudo run_init {{path/to/script}} {{start|stop|restart}}

Run a script and specify the init script context explicitly:

sudo run_init {{[-t|--type]}} {{context_type}} {{path/to/script}}

Display the context that would be used without running the script:

sudo run_init {{[-n|--dry-run]}} {{path/to/script}}
