[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#613618: sysvinit: init emits warning when we don't have getty in /etc/inittab

[NIIBE Yutaka]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-13.1
Severity: minor

On every boot, I see: "no more processes left in this runlevel"
which disturbs login prompt.

I am using ngetty (1.1-2) which doesn't use /etc/inittab
but invoked by /etc/init.d/ngetty.

Since ngetty works differently than traditional getty, we don't need
entries in /etc/inittab; single ngetty process watches all ttys
and login processes simultaneously, and it runs forever.

Perhaps, init assumes that it needs to watch some processes (such as
getty) to be respawned.  But using ngetty, I don't have any such
processes.
