    <para>When run-levels are changed (for example, when halting the
    system), <command>init</command> sends termination signals to those
    processes that <command>init</command> itself started and that should
    not be running in the new run-level.  While doing this,
    <command>init</command> outputs messages like <quote>Sending processes
    the TERM signal</quote> which seem to imply that it is sending these
    signals to all currently running processes. To avoid this
    misinterpretation, modify the source so that these messages read like
    <quote>Sending processes configured via /etc/inittab the TERM signal</quote>
    instead:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i 's@Sending processes@&amp; configured via /etc/inittab@g' src/init.c</userinput></screen>

    <para>Maintained versions of the <command>wall</command> and 
    <command>mountpoint</command> programs were
    installed earlier by Util-linux. Suppress the installation of Sysvinit's
    versions of these programs and their man pages:</para>
