Good point.

I could see a user thinking that bootscripts *were* controlled by init
(I did) -- but they really aren't.  At least, not in a manner that would
affect these TERM/KILL actions (which is sort of the problem; if you
already know what processes are being killed, any correct wording should
work, but otherwise you might get more confused).  Using Bruce's
"controlled directly" wording should work, though.

I suppose it probably depends on how much we want to tell the user about
exactly how sysvinit works through this message.  If it's important that
the user know that the affected processes will all be listed in
/etc/inittab, then the "controlled directly by /etc/inittab" wording
would be better.  If it doesn't matter, the "controlled directly by
init" version would work just as well.

What do you think about Bruce's "controlled directly by /etc/inittab"?
