Oh, so it's not the process by which services are shutdown that's at question but the implementation. Are there use-cases where feedback on service shutdown would be desired? It seems that if there were, a couple of lines of text would be minimalist. If sourcing shells and scripts has become a sticky point, then perhaps that functionality should be included in init. Which sort of brings up the topic of evaluating current init replacements (or, better yet, an init, changerunlevel, shutdown system). -- Richi Plana -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
