| GumbyBRAIN | Look for your fantastic modules and seeing if anyone knows that. |
| simcop2387 | maasha: shit! |
| t35t0r | GumbyBRAIN, i fucking hate you, you nonsensical turd! |
| GumbyBRAIN | Eightbitbastard - then make it easy for you, and it's a turd of a fucking geek. |

| somian | The /etc/inittab is a RedHat ism isn't it? AOT Debian? |

| kcbanner | Hmm. Could someone suggest a module I could use to compare a binary number (really an array 8 numbers long) to another set of arrays that are 8 numbers long, to see which is closest, by bit? |
| rodrickbrownn | somian, no pretty much every nix uname -a && [[ -f /etc/inittab ]] && echo "solaris has it too" SunOS icarus 5.10 Generic_118833-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 solaris has it too |

| thrig | *BSD tend to lack inittab |
| somian | Yep, some Unices have it, some don't. |
| Patterner | gentoo has one |
| somian | I was incorrect in stating "RedHatism"... as far as Linux, historically the handling of init has been seen as the way exemplified by Debian (and its numerous progeny) vs RedHat (and its numerous progeny). |
| kcbanner | So does anyone know |
| somian | But I am sure there are those who would take exception. |
| kcbanner | how to compare two binary numbers and see which one is closest to the other in terms of bits |
| cfedde | inittab came from System 5 where they introduced runlevels. and the rcX.d convention |
| rhizo | system V style init |
| somian | Anyway, a pkg that wants to write to /etc/inittab on a debian or debian-derivative is definitely broken, and that's what i just stumbled across. |
| f00li5h | somian: which package is it? |
| somian | "runit" |
| f00li5h | i don't know what that is |
| somian | depended on by "git-daemon-run" f00li5h: of course not :-) You just like asking random questions :-) |
| f00li5h | mja |
| rhizo | git as in version control ? |
| somian | ... as I like thinking out loud about random issues :-) |
| Patterner | runit != sysvinit != initng |
| somian | rhizo : that one, yeah, I have to install the blighter to get some upstream src |
