RHEL6 使用新的Upstart启动服务替换先前的System V init

RHEL 6通过将System V替换为Upstart加快了其启动速度。采用了这项新服务，红帽仍然可以向下兼容地保持以前的管理方式，这就意味着，你仍可以使用原来的方式来管理服务。

/etc/inittab  只用来配置系统默认运行级别，所有先前由/etc/inittab来设定的条目，现在都在/etc/init/目录中以单个文件的形式存在。

/etc/init/rcS.conf  通过启动大部分的基本服务来对系统进行初始化的设定
/etc/init/rc.conf  对启动各自的运行级别（runlevel）的设定
/etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf  定义当用户按“control-alt-delete”三个键时的系统行为
/etc/init/tty.conf、/etc/init/serial.conf  定义系统处理终端登录

另外/etc/sysconfig/init 中ACTIVE_CONSOLES决定了虚拟控制台的创建，AUTOSWAP是否自动检测交换分区，SINGLE单用户模式下的root使用的SHELL,默认为/sbin/sushell，另外/sbin/sulogin会在单用户模式启动之前弹出登录提示。

[root@pcnet ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/init
# color => new RH6.0 bootup
# verbose => old-style bootup
# anything else => new style bootup without ANSI colors or positioning
BOOTUP=color
# column to start "[  OK  ]" label in
RES_COL=60
# terminal sequence to move to that column. You could change this
# to something like "tput hpa ${RES_COL}" if your terminal supports it
MOVE_TO_COL="echo -en \\033[${RES_COL}G"
# terminal sequence to set color to a 'success' color (currently: green)
SETCOLOR_SUCCESS="echo -en \\033[0;32m"
# terminal sequence to set color to a 'failure' color (currently: red)
SETCOLOR_FAILURE="echo -en \\033[0;31m"
# terminal sequence to set color to a 'warning' color (currently: yellow)
SETCOLOR_WARNING="echo -en \\033[0;33m"
# terminal sequence to reset to the default color.
SETCOLOR_NORMAL="echo -en \\033[0;39m"
# Set to anything other than 'no' to allow hotkey interactive startup...
PROMPT=yes
# Set to 'yes' to allow probing for devices with swap signatures
AUTOSWAP=no
# What ttys should gettys be started on?
ACTIVE_CONSOLES=/dev/tty[1-2]
# Set to '/sbin/sulogin' to prompt for password on single-user mode
# Set to '/sbin/sushell' otherwise
SINGLE=/sbin/sushell
