Did I messed up something buy I accidentaly pasting the `/etc/inittab` into the shell.
We were doing some system checkup and I entered into the shell (ussing PuTTY): '# more /etc/inittab'.
I then copied the contents of the output with intentions to paste all that into a document. But then accidentally I hit the right click, and in putty that means PASTE so i pasted all that back into the shell.
Is it possible that i messed up something? Im going crazy it's a production system. So far everything seems normal but i know that inittab is read during boot time. The '/etc/inittab' is still the same and I confirmed that it hasn't been modified, but I am afraid that I might have messed up something else that will reveal itself later.
Also I did some reasearch I found out that '/etc/opt/resmon/persistence/reboot_flag' has been modified today. Can this cause problems on the next reboot?

Re: I pasted the /etc/inittab into the shell. Did I messed up something?
>Is it possible that I messed up something?
Yes. Even though most of the command weren't valid, the redirection has taken place.
Here are the commands with redirections and with ";":
ioin::sysinit:/sbin/ioinitrc >/dev/console 2>&1
tape::sysinit:/sbin/mtinit > /dev/console 2>&1
muxi::sysinit:/sbin/dasetup </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 # mux init
stty::sysinit:/sbin/stty 9600 clocal icanon echo opost onlcr ixon icrnl ignpar </dev/systty
brc1::bootwait:/sbin/bcheckrc </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 # fsck, etc.
link::wait:/sbin/sh -c "/sbin/rm -f /dev/syscon; /sbin/ln /dev/systty /dev/syscon" >/dev/console 2>&1
sqnc::wait:/sbin/rc </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1 # system init
These may have wrote something to the console.
cprt::bootwait:/sbin/cat /etc/copyright >/dev/syscon # legal req
Since this is a device file and not a file, this probably didn't hurt anything. But you can just use do it again:
# /sbin/cat /etc/copyright >/dev/syscon
ems2::bootwait:/sbin/cat </dev/null >/etc/opt/resmon/persistence/reboot_flag
This just zeroed out that file, same as what it would normally do. Not sure if it should have anything in it? Try looking at another system.
ems3:3456:wait:/sbin/sh -c "/usr/bin/touch /etc/opt/resmon/persistence/runlevel4_flag; /usr/bin/chmod 644 /etc/opt/resmon/persistence/runlevel4_flag
Since the semicolon is in quotes, I don't think it did the chmod.
>I found out that '/etc/opt/resmon/persistence/reboot_flag' has been modified today. Can this cause problems on the next reboot?
I'm not sure what it does but you may have messed up that file. See above.
