My system is probably not up to date, so I'm not casting this as
a bug report against sysvinit. I have sysvinit-2.60-1 installed,
and I can't currently get on master or ftp.debian.org to check
if I'm current. tsx-11 doesn't seem to have a sysvinit package
in pub/linux/distributions/debian/unstable/binary.
I have no initscript(8) man page. I do have an initscript(5)
man page which says, in part:
DESCRIPTION
When the shell script /etc/initscript is present, init
will use it to execute the commands from inittab. This
script can be used to set things like ulimit and umask
default values for every process.
If initscript is an executable shell script, shouldn't it go in /sbin?
