+.SH AUTHOR
+.B ninit\-inittab
+was written by Nikola Vladov.
+
+The aim was to easily convert a host running
+SysVinit to ninit.  In my opinion creating services is very easy.
+Maybe you have to look 
+in some already prepared service directory first.
+
+Ask google for "ninit archlinux" and you will find
+an excellent git repository with services for
+.I /etc/ninit
