Package: sysvinit-core Version: 2.88dsf-59.10 Severity: normal Hello,
For as long as I can remember, you have to pass -h to shutdown to actually shut down the computer, otherwise sysvinit just enters runlevel 1. It happens that systemd defaults to shutdown even without -h, and thus people start thinking that -h is not actually needed. When they happen to use a system running sysvinit, they wonder why "shutdown now" doesn't actually shut down. Perhaps sysvinit should thus rethink the default and just shutdown when asked to :) (as I see it, nowadays runlevel 1 is of little use, I don't see how this default is really useful nowadays in general) Samuel -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'buildd-unstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'buildd-experimental'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: hurd-i386 (i686-AT386) Kernel: GNU-Mach 1.8+git20171101-486-dbg/Hurd-0.9 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages sysvinit-core depends on: ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.233 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.64 ii debianutils 4.8.2 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59.10 ii libc0.3 2.24-17 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.10 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-59.10 sysvinit-core recommends no packages.
