Hi

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd

Let me know if you have any unanswered end user questions on systemd
left.   Also if you want to correct or add anything more, feel free to. 

Would the command "init q" continue to work ? Is there any equivalent
in systemd ?
Taking a second look,  /etc/inittab is not used in systemd anymore.   Do
you still have a use for init q?

I am attaching a very old document which lays down the steps for "mgetty" for Dial-In modem configuration, and is used even now by many new users / new students for their simple lab set ups for experiments etc. at the same place where the document was written. Just wanted to revise the document adequately to keep it compatible for future Fedora (systemd) releases.

The "init q" helps in just inserting a "#" at the appropriate place in /etc/inittab and reinitializing the init without any extra scripting or efforts, through a simple script to use the same modem for a Dial-Out purpose and revert back again.

If, systemd offers such functionality like "init q" in any other manner (would like to know about it) it will surely help. Otherwise, students being students will surely find alternatives :)
