This looks like systemd. Try "systemctl stop brltty". > Secondly, now that there is no inittab I cannot figure out how to > start brltty as early as possible.

THe inittab as such is gone, as far as I know. systemd does dependency-based booting. So you specify the actual point where BRLTTY should be run by changing your unit file. This brings me to your development version. You could write a new systemd unit file, something like brltty-github.service. This would start your local installation. You can then start/stop these two individually. You can look at /lib/systemd/system/brltty.service for an example. Copy that to /etc/systemd/system/brltty-github.service and adjust the file. Dont forget to call "systemctl daemon-reload". -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
