SysV-Style init

Edit Package sysvinit

System V style init programs by Miquel van Smoorenburg that control the
booting and shutdown of your system. These support a number of system
runlevels, each one associated with a specific set of utilities. For
example, the normal system runlevel is 3, which starts a getty on
virtual consoles tty1-tty6. Runlevel 5 starts xdm. Runlevel 0 shuts
down the system. See the individual man pages for inittab, initscript,
halt, init, powerd, reboot, runlevel, shutdown, and telinit for
more information.

- Update to sysvinit 3.07
  * Fixed killall5 so that processes in the omit list are
    not sent any signals, including SIGSTOP.
  * Fixed usage message for killall5 to be more accurate.
  * pidof was not returning PIDs of programs which were launched
    using a symbolic link. (ie /tmp/sleep when /tmp/sleep links to /usr/bin/sleep).
    This is now fixed as we check both the realpath and symbolic path for processes.
    In other words, "pidof /tmp/sleep" and "pidof /usr/bin/sleep" will return
    the same PIDs when /tmp/sleep is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/sleep.
  * Fixed memory initialization error in pidof. Fix provided by Markus Fischer.
  * Accepted patch from Mark Hindley  which avoids clearing realpath information
    in pidof when trying to find matching executables.
  * Mark Hindley fixed typo in es.po
  * Mark Hindley cleaned up translation code in src/Makefile. 
  * Drop sulogin from Debian build. Removed libcrypt-dev dependency.
  * Fixed pt translation pages which were failing due to mis-matched
    open/close tags.
  * Makefile now respects ROOT prefix when setting up pidof-to-killall5
    symbolic link.
  * Removed redundant translation files from man directory.
  * Makefile now respects DESTDIR. User can specify either ROOT= or DESTDIR=
    to set install prefix.
  * Helge Kreutzmann provided updated Makefile for
    translation of manual pages. This has been added
    to the man directory.
  * Added sys/sysmacros.h include in mountpoint.c to fix
    compiler errors on systems where major/minor macros were not defined.
  * Applied patches from Mark Hindley to clean up man page
    Makefile, translations and installs of new man pages.
  * Remove reliance on linux/fs.h as it conflicts with glibc 2.36.

Thanks for sharing some individual pages like inittab, initscript, halt, init, powerd, reboot, runlevel,bitlife, shutdown, and telinit. It is very useful.
