- You can do a kill -1 1 to cause init to reread /etc/inittab. Or, download
- the sysvinit sources from tsx-11.mit.edu and run it. You can just
- link init to telinit and use it for changing run level then.
-
- The /bin/init shows up because the kernel looks for init in /bin first,
- and not finding it there execs it from /etc. But, it doesn`t change the path
- back.
