Re: init finagling

Oh! Wow! I get to say _RTM_ (notice I am saying it nicely). To wit: the -t 1
means one second where the second 1 is the run level. From the man page:
"telinit can tell init how long it should wait between sending processes
the SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals. The default is 5 seconds, but this can be
changed with the -t option." So I guess, this is the hurry-up signal.
