FIX:
The init daemon and command is a general process spawner. It's primary role is to create processes from a script stored in the file /etc/inittab. At boot time, init is started as a system daemon. While the system is running, a user-spawned init directs the actions of the boot init.
For additional information regarding /etc/inittab file see:
