Something like: # inittab is not used by Upstart. # This file is provided for informational purposes only. # CHANGING THIS FILE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM. # # To set the default runlevel, see /etc/sysconfig/init # # System initialization is started by /etc/event.d/rcS # # Individual runlevels are started by /etc/event.d/rc[0-6] # # Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete # # Terminal gettys (tty[1-6]) are handled by /etc/event.d/tty[1-6] # # Documentation on Upstart event handlers can be found here: # http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html # http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas Optionally you could keep the old inittab junk after the comment, for historical reasons and/or backwards compatibility for people who want to install sysvinit. -w
