thank you, tiago. what i'm looking for is information, a web page or a book or something, that explains how the init process is controlled on ubuntu server, something akin to classic unix documentation about the /etc/inittab file. my hope is to read and learn how to control the behavior of the init process at boot time and also as it runs as a daemon manager. the essential question is "what files are used to configure the init process?" it's surprising how difficult it is to get an answer anywhere, given how fundamental init is to the operating system. jim
