Now that Ubuntu uses upstart instead of a SysV init, /etc/inittab is no
longer used. Instead the files in /etc/event.d list what services run
and on what events they start.
At the moment though, most of what upstart does is to run the scripts in
/etc/rc?.d, so that's still the right place to see what gets started.
