+<para>When runlevels are changed (for example, when halting the system),
+<command>init</command> sends termination signals to those processes that it
+itself started and that shouldn't be running in the new runlevel. While doing
+this, <command>init</command> outputs messages like "Sending processes the TERM

+running processes. To avoid this misinterpretation, you can modify the source
+so that these messages read like "Sending processes started by init the TERM
