I'd be happy to use this feature in Apcupsd. At the moment the best option we have is to 'sed' our own scripty bits into the system halt scripts, which is a very impolite thing for a package to do. (As a result, some of our RPMs require the user to manually insert the shutdown code, which in addition to being an annoyance, tends to cause users to simply skip that step.) If we had a directory into which our packages could drop a prioritized script to be run after mountpoints are made r/o, I believe we'd be able to completely meet the expectations of our users and be a well-behaved package at the same time. --Adam -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
