It's a fundamental change. /etc/rc[0-6S].d still exist under upstart, but the init processing is fundamentally changed -- see /usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian.gz for more info. Oh, and upstart uses /etc/event.d, which has a list of 'event handlers'. For example, you can do a 'start ttyN' where N is a terminal number to start a terminal on that term, or 'stop ttyN' to stop the virtual terminal on ttyN. The basic idea, IIUC, is upstart is meant to be more 'event-driven' than sysvinit. -- JM Ibanez Senior Software Engineer Orange & Bronze Software Labs, Ltd. Co.
