I'm a little confused. I occasionally shut down running services on a running system without necessarily starting them up immediately or ever after (like NFS when I'm done sharing things or tomcat5 when I'm just debugging). I thought that there was also a "shutdown" option in services to allow people to script proper and clean shutdown sequences for services (like saving state for databases and ALSA sound system). If we don't necessarily have to "shut down" the service when shutting down, do you mean that services should just do the proper thing when sent the appropriate signal(7)? Like a uniform way of being signalled to shut down?
