So do you know more about this then the man pg? >From the init man page: "The init binary checks if it is init or telinit by looking at its process id; the real init's process id is always 1. From this it follows that instead of calling telinit one can also just use init instead as a shortcut." Notice the part about the shortcut?? I have only been administering *nix systems for a short time (15 years) but in that time I can tell you I have never typed telinit except in response to statments like the above.
