Interesting idea Davide according to pstree, init is indeed still present, top of the list in fact: init─┬─/usr/bin/sealer ├─acpid ├─artsd ├─atd ├─auditd─┬─audispd───{audispd} │ └─{auditd} ├─automount───4*[{automount}] ├─avahi-daemon───avahi-daemon ├─console-kit-dae───61*[{console-kit-dae}] ├─crond ├─cupsd ├─2*[dbus-daemon───{dbus-daemon}] ├─dbus-launch ├─dcopserver ├─drift-checker───sleep ├─fetchmail ├─gam_server ├─gconfd-2 ├─gpg-agent ├─gpm ├─hald───hald-runner─┬─hald-addon-acpi │ ├─hald-addon-hid- │ ├─hald-addon-inpu │ ├─hald-addon-stor │ └─hald-addon-usb- ├─hcid ├─2*[heyu] ├─kaccess ├─kded ├─kdeinit─┬─gkrellm───{gkrellm} │ ├─kio_file │ ├─klauncher │ ├─konsole─┬─su───bash───amrecover │ │ ├─su───bash───pstree │ │ └─2*[su───bash] │ ├─konsole───2*[su───bash] │ ├─konsole─┬─su───bash │ │ └─su───bash───htop │ ├─konsole───4*[su───bash───tail] │ ├─kwin │ ├─nm-applet │ ├─puplet │ └─python ├─kdesktop ├─kgpg ├─kicker ├─kio_uiserver ├─kmail───4*[{kmail}] ├─kmix ├─knotify ├─ksensors ├─ksmserver ├─kwalletmanager ├─login───bash───startx───xinit─┬─X │ └─ck-xinit-sessio───startkde─┬─kwrapper │ └─ssh-agent ├─login───bash ├─4*[mingetty] ├─notification-da ├─ntpd ├─pcscd ├─restorecond ├─rklogd ├─rpc.idmapd ├─rpc.statd ├─rpcbind ├─rsyslogd───{rsyslogd} ├─2*[sendmail] ├─setroubleshootd───2*[{setroubleshootd}] ├─spamd───2*[spamd] ├─sshd ├─start_kdeinit ├─udevd ├─xinetd───amandad───amindexd └─yum-updatesd OTOH, I have NDI if that is normal. It is also sitting there in an htop screen showing "init(3)" which I assume is the runlevel. I'll pepper the last S## before that and see if its hung, and the top of rc.local, but that doesn't show anyplace, and if I run it by hand, it does everything and exits cleanly.
