Please do not take this as a personal attack, but am I missing something or... how the hell does this have to do with Perl?!? | [reply] |
I can't see how this would be perl-related, but to answer your question
vi /etc/inittab
followed by
telinit q
does it for me.

I am not aware of any special facilities of this type, but you may need to be aware that inittab is only one way to skin the cat and it may not be as good (or easy and safe to use) as another. This article, for example, expunges the benefits of /service over (i.a.) inittab.
Update: to clarify; my intention in posting the link is merely to reveal that there are more ways to do this than to recommend one way over another.

Moron, this entire thread seems entirely off-topic for PM, so I don't want to expand it unnecessarily. But I do have to question the wisdom of recommending an entirely non-standard (and somewhat controversial) init system over a system which comes as standard with every Linux distro out there. Especially since the OP does not seem very proficient in Linux (otherwise he probably wouldn't have asked this question, no offense to the OP intended).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to start an "inittab is better than daemontools" flame-war here, but I think your recommendation is inappropriate.

And the reverse was not my intention either. It can hardly hurt for the OP to be aware that there are more ways than inittab to do the job. That's what the link did in this respect - it provides a list of alternatives which the Op could look into further. If you insist that there is a single standard init system with linux then maybe you should study the alternatives (and their precise purposes) in more detail yourself rather than assume, like too many people here, that the way you know best for doing something just must be the only right way.
