Hmmm .... so how do I supress VServers "fakeinit" and start a "real" one?
The one that is running does not create the pipe:
foo:/# ps faxu
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 15173 7.0 0.5 4872 1636 pts/0 S 03:13 0:00
/bin/bash -login
root 15187 0.0 0.2 4612 872 pts/0 R+ 03:13 0:00 \_ ps faxu
root 1 0.0 0.1 1588 516 ? S Aug05 0:01 init [2]
[...]
foo:/# reboot
shutdown: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
It's not really that important, but staying als close to a real server
as possible in the default setup would be a good choice.
n8,
Andreas
