Define "normal" :) The way it's always been in Ubuntu (and Debian for as long as I can remember, and unless I'm much mistaken, also RedHat, Solaris, and HP-UX) is to have /etc/inittab that instructs init to do certain things. Among them, it calls upon /etc/init.d/rc to go through the relevant /etc/rc?.d directory and start/stop services. In Ubuntu, we now use upstart instead of sysvinit by default. We still use the symlinks in /etc/rc?.d to determine the order in which we start things. The things that used to be done by init itself, e.g. setting up the virtual terminals and such, is now done by upstart at the start of runlevel 2. > but I have no initrc-file and I've read something about upstart not > using the normal way to start up the system. Is that correct? Upstart provides a more intelligent way of starting/stopping/respawning things than sysvinit, but we currently use very little of that functionality. -- | Soren Hansen | Linux2Go | http://Linux2Go.dk/ | | Seniorkonsulent | Lindholmsvej 42, 2.
