>&#13; Commenting out the line with a <TT

To do this, edit the inittab file vi <TT
CLASS="filename"
>/etc/inittab</TT
> and change the line:
<TABLE
BORDER="0"
BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
WIDTH="100%"
><TR
><TD
><PRE
CLASS="screen"
>&#13; ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
</PRE
></TD
></TR
></TABLE
>
To read:
<TABLE
BORDER="0"
BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
WIDTH="100%"
><TR
><TD
><PRE
CLASS="screen"
>&#13; #ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
</PRE
></TD
></TR
></TABLE
>
Now, for the change to take effect type in the following at a prompt:
<TABLE
BORDER="0"
BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
WIDTH="100%"
><TR
><TD
><PRE
CLASS="screen"
