4.1.1 Using the /etc/inittab File
One of the first actions taken by the init program is to read the
/etc/inittab file. The inittab file supplies the init program with
instructions for creating and running initialization processes. The init
program reads the inittab file each time init is invoked. The file
typically contains instructions for the default initialization, the creation
and control of processes at each run level, and the getty line process that
controls the activation of terminal lines.
The Tru64 UNIX software provides you with a basic /etc/inittab file
that contains line entries for the most common and necessary initialization
processes. For example, the /etc/inittab file available with the
distribution software would look similar to the following:
is:3:initdefault:
ss:Ss:wait:/sbin/rc0 shutdown < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
s0:0:wait:/sbin/rc0 off < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
fs:23:wait:/sbin/bcheckrc < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
