NAME
       ninit-inittab - convert /etc/inittab to service directory

SYNOPSIS
       ninit-inittab inittab_file home_directory output_script


DESCRIPTION
       ninit-inittab  creates  a  script using /etc/inittab file.  This script
       can be used to create a service directory easy.


OPTIONS
       inittab_file
	      input source file

       home_directory
	      home directory for ninit

       output_script
	      name of the output script


USAGE
       Case A.	If you don't have services in /etc/ninit you can start:


	      cd /tmp
	      ninit-inittab /etc/inittab /etc/ninit services.sh
	      less services.sh
	      /tmp/services.sh


       Then check what the script has done in /etc/ninit

       Case B.	If you already have a /etc/ninit directory with services,  and
       don't want to make any changes there you can type:


	      cd /tmp; cp /etc/inittab /tmp; vi inittab
	      ninit-inittab /tmp/inittab /tmp/srv services.sh
	      less services.sh
	      /tmp/services.sh


       Then check what the script has done in /tmp/srv.	 If you find something
       interesting there you can copy it to /etc/ninit


AUTHOR
       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 /etc/ninit



FILES
