- <para>When run-levels are changed (for example, when halting the
- system), <command>init</command> sends termination signals to those
- processes that <command>init</command> itself started and that should
- not be running in the new run-level. While doing this,
- <command>init</command> outputs messages like <quote>Sending processes
- the TERM signal</quote> which seem to imply that it is sending these
- signals to all currently running processes. To avoid this
- misinterpretation, modify the source so that these messages read like
- <quote>Sending processes configured via /etc/inittab the TERM signal</quote>
- instead:</para>
