I'm about to embark on the dreaded SysV init path. (Please keep the hisses and boos to a minimum...) Before I start hacking up the FreeBSD init. I've been looking at coming up with a "Universal" init version which would use /etc/ttys if present or /etc/inittab. I'm looking to base the code off of the current FreeBSD init, instead of porting the Linux one so it'll be GPL free. Before I start -- has anyone done this yet? Is anyone else interested in this capability? Any chance for utmp space to record the run level in future versions -- or should I just record it in /var/run/runlevels in it's own file for compatibility. I guess who will need the -r option -- anything else needed?
