If Linux, being that you were at Connectiva, then yes, anything formerly Red Hat-based is typically going to be 2-3-5. But what UNIX are you talking about? System V style init scripts are typically the foundation of anything post-1986 and non-BSD.

I think you might be mistaking AIX as the "standard" UNIX? I'm just trying to figure out where you are coming from. > Errr, I never made such a claim :) I said I was using it when I was > working for Conectiva.

(still scratching my head) If there is one thing I've learned to do, it's check the /etc/inittab or /etc/rc script the first time I get on a new UNIX/Linux flavor. -- Bryan J.
