Yo,
Why do we do this in /etc/rc:
# First, run the KILL scripts.
for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/K* ; do
check_runlevel "$i" || continue
# Check if the subsystem is already up.
subsys=${i#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K??}
[ -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys -o
-f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys.init ] \
|| continue
# Bring the subsystem down.
if LC_ALL=C egrep -q "^..*init.d/functions" $i ; then
$i stop
else
action $"Stopping $subsys: " $i stop
fi
done
Specifically, why is there the broken assumption that everything must
relate to a daemon (which is now called a subsystem), and that this must
be first running with a lock file before the killscript can run?
On several other $random distributions, I don't have this getting in the
way of me running designated actions on shutdown, and I'd love to know
why it's done this way in Fedora - is this standards compliance or
simply a bug? I'm not criticising, but this wasted time with a number of
unneeded reboots before I went looking for why :-)
Jon.
