Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-43
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/shutdown
Hi,
According to the shutdown(8), calling shutdown with the -P argument
should set the INIT_HALT variable to POWEROFF.
For some reasons, this is not the case and INIT_HALT is set to POWEROFF.
HALT OR POWEROFF
The -H option just sets the init environment variable INIT_HALT to
HALT, and the -P option just sets that variable to POWEROFF. The shutdown
script that calls halt(8) as the last thing in the shut‐
down sequence should check these environment variables and call halt(8)
with the right options for these options to actually have any effect. Debian
3.1 (sarge) supports this.
Cheers
Laurent Bigonville
