Interesting - I had no idea that openrc-init existed. When I read this I was tempted to switch, however: Openrc-init does not use /etc/inittab which means in particular that my own favorite way of shutting down wouldn't work: kb:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -h now Extra question to keep the thread alive for a bit: does openrc-init support rebooting via Ctl-Alt-Del? Is it configurable? (It is with sysvinit, in a similar way to the above kbrequest setting.) -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
