+When you change run levels (for example when you are going to shutdown
+your system) the init program is going to send the TERM and KILL signals
+to all the processes that init started. But init prints a message to the
+screen saying "sending all processes the TERM signal" and the same for the
+KILL signal. This implies that init sends this signal to all the currently
+running processes, which isn't the case. To avoid this confusion you can
+apply the sysvinit patch found on the LFS FTP site to sysvinit that changes
+the sentence in the shutdown.c file and have it print "sending all
+processes started by init the TERM signal".
