I'd like to finish this task in v2.24. The goal is to make sysvinit[-tools] package unnecessary and maintain generic init independent commands in utils-linux (and procps). v2.24 changes: * I have merged last/lastb from sysvinit The sysvinit implementation is better than the original util-linxu code. The problem is that command line options are incompatible, so the old util-linxu version is temporary available by --enable-deprecated-last. * wall(1) from util-linux has been improved to accept a message on command line to be compatible with sysvinit implementation. * mesg(1) seems already compatible, so no change. All the commands are enabled by default now. Use --disable-{last,wall,mesg} if you don't like this decision. Thanks to Ondrej (in CC) for his help with this boring work.
