/etc/inittab file is one of the most important files on a Linux (and UNIX) operating system. It is read when the Linux /sbin/init program starts your system. The /etc/inittab file lists what programs to start depending on the run level.

Provide a sample syntax (id:runlevels:action:process) of an /etc/inittab entry as follows:

id = identify your entry

runlevels = specify that the process will run at run levels 3 and 5

Action = specify to init program how to treat the program

Process = provide your own name including if there is any input or output redirection
