The reason I posted to the net was that we had had renegade inits for a couple of days (trying to reboot while the system was still up....), which turned out to be an easily corrected problem (somebody typing "init -" while SU!). When I saw the five inits idle, I was so exasperated that I thought this was a genuine bug. I certainly didn't expect the kind of response I got. Out of the deluge of responses I received, all except one re-read init(8) to me. That one person was the only one who gave me enough credit, and said something like: "well, this is the normal order of things; if it doesn't apply, I don't know what your problem is". Nobody else bothered wondering if I did have a genuine problem. Yes, I should've phrased my question more carefully. I just didn't think there were people on the net immature enough to retort as they did. Vahe Sarkissian
