Changes in inittab to stop the 'OKs' at shutdown stopped working with FC10


Following some advice from long ago - I edited /etc/inittab so that at the end of each of these two lines:-
l0:0:wait/etc/rc.d/rc6
l6:6:wait/etc/rc.d/rc6
i concatenated . .
|/bin/grep "FAILED"

which results in showing only the FAILED lines; the OK are hidden.

Since upgrading from FC9 to FC10 it no longer works. Looking at inittab it is empty except for a message that changes to it won't affect the system - so I can only assume that the methodology has changed.

Can anyone help on this please

Mike

found this in fedoraproject "8. What is New for System Adminstrators" at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/releas...are_About.html
8.2.1. Upstart

Fedora 10 features the Upstart initialization system. All System V init scripts should run fine in compatibility mode. However, users who have made customizations to their /etc/inittab file need to port those modifications to upstart. For information on how upstart works, refer to the init(8) and initctl(8) man pages. For information on writing upstart scripts, refer to the events(5) man page, and also the "Upstart Getting Started Guide":

http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html

Due to the change of init systems, it is recommended that users who do an upgrade on a live file system to Fedora 10, reboot soon afterwards.
------------
so I guess that's where I'm headed
