In /etc/init.d/syslog? That seems like a bad place to put it, even if it does check (as I assume it must have) the current runlevel, and only deletes in runlevels [016] or [06]; if it gets killed too early, you could delete a file from /tmp that is needed to cleanly kill off a subsequent process. /etc/init.d/halt calls /sbin/halt.local, which might be a good place, except that it's already umounted nonessential filesystems by then, so if you have /tmp on a different fs putting it there won't work. (You could mount it from halt.local, clean it, then umount it, but that seems extremely kludgy.) You could write your own simple script and link it in /etc/rc[06].d/ to run after S00killall but before S01halt or S01reboot. (It is not clear to me whether enough processes are killed off that cleaning /tmp is safe here; might be worth testing in a noncritical environment first.) --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
