# inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up
# the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg,
# Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
//表示當前默認運行級別為5,啟動系統進入圖形化界面
id:5:initdefault:
//啟動時自動執行/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit腳本
# System initialization.

l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
//當運行級別為5時,以5為參數運行/etc/rc.d/rc腳本,init將等待其返回

//在啟動過程中允許按[Ctrl+Alt+Del]重啟系統
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left. Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.

# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"
//在運行級別2、3、4、5上以ttyX為參數執行/sbin/mingetty程序,打開ttyX終端用於用戶登錄,如果進程退出則再次運行mingetty程序
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
