I am using Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop and I have managed to overwrite my /etc/inittab and /etc/init.d/rcS files while running a stupid script with sudo.

Can anyone please provide me the default installed /etc/inittab and /etc/init.d/rcS files on a ubuntu 11.10 system so that I can restore it back ?

$ ls -l /etc/inittab

ls: cannot access /etc/inittab: No such file or directory

So there is no inittab in my installation.

$ ls -l /etc/init.d/rcS 

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 117 2011-07-14 07:11 /etc/init.d/rcS



$ cat /etc/init.d/rcS 

#! /bin/sh

#

# rcS

#

# Call all S??* scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ in numerical/alphabetical order

#



exec /etc/init.d/rc S
