Do you need a rundown on how inittab works? It works by running, spawning something and then goign away.
No it doesn't. Inittab is a configuration file. It is read and interpreted by the init daemon. You are confusing the action determined by that table with the actual table itself. Init never goes away. The subshells it forks in executing the shell scripts in /etc/init.d may go away, but so what? If I were to run them manually from the command line with a subshell that subshell would go away on completion just as with any other script being executed. Well that's not quite true; that's only true if its a shell script. If its a perl or ruby script there's no subshell :-) -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- Me...a skeptic?
