Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like a quite valid need for proper stop action. > How much time is normally saved by not stopping netatalk? It seems to > stop very quickly anyway. Not much, I guess (but it all adds up: I am told that all daemons without stop action gits killed in parallel at the end of SysV shutdown), but that's irrelevant: _any_ valid need for the stop action counts - I just couldn't imagine any.
