The Sysvinit package contains programs to control the startup, running and shutdown of all other programs.
Sysvinit installs the following:
halt, init, killall5, last, lastb (link to last), mesg, pidof (link to killall5), poweroff (link to halt), reboot (link to halt), runlevel, shutdown, sulogin, telinit (link to init), utmpdump and wall

Bash: sh
Binutils: as, ld
Fileutils: chown, cp, install, ln, mknod, rm
Gcc: cc, cc1, collect2, cpp0
Make: make
Sed: sed
When run levels are changed (for example, when halting the system), init sends the TERM and KILL signals to the processes which it started. Init prints "Sending processes the TERM signal" to the screen. This seems to imply that init is sending these signals to all the currently running processes. To avoid this confusion, the init.c file can be modified, so that the sentence reads "Sending processes started by init the TERM signal".
Edit the halt message:
cp src/init.c{,.backup} &&
sed 's/Sending processes/Sending processes started by init/g' \
src/init.c.backup > src/init.c |
Compile Sysvinit:
make -C src |
Finish installing the package:
make -C src install |
