<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>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i 's@Sending processes@& configured via /etc/inittab@g' src/init.c</userinput></screen>
<para>Maintained versions of the <command>wall</command>,
<command>mountpoint</command>, <command>last</command>,

Suppress the installation of Sysvinit's versions of these programs and
their man pages:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">sed -ri -e '/utmpdump/d' \
-e '/mountpoint/d' \
-e '/mesg/d' \

<para>First, apply a patch that removes several programs installed by other
packages, clarifies a message, and fixes a compiler warning:</para>
