Hi,
I've been staring at the following line in fs/skeleton/etc/inittab:
> tty3::respawn:/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages
and wondered if it's useful to anybody.
I guess in many embedded systems it is a useless waste of resources.
At least it is on mine, so I wiped it in my port.
Out of curiosity, does anybody really use it?
Or should I send a patch that removes it?
Luca
