Yes. It does not really have problems shutting down syslogd. The issue here is that I should have made it depend on $remote_fs instead of $local_fs, because with the current setup it need to stop before sendsigs kills it. The init.d script for sysklogd and klogd have a bug that make it report failure when stopping the daemon also when the daemon is already stopped. This is what is happing here. init.d/sendsigs already killed both, and later when the sysklogd and klogd scripts are executed during shutdown, they complain. The quick fix is to change the dependency information like this: diff -u /etc/init.d/sysklogd /tmp/sysklogd --- /etc/init.d/sysklogd 2008-02-23 20:20:01.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/sysklogd 2008-05-08 21:42:35.000000000 +0200 @@ -3,8 +3,8 @@ ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: sysklogd -# Required-Start: $local_fs $time -# Required-Stop: $local_fs $time +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $time # Should-Start: $network # Should-Stop: $network # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 I believe a better fix is to use the omitpid feature of sendsigs to make sysklogd and klogd survive sendsigs and kill them just before /var/ and / is umounted/mounted read-only (see #468649). This will allow for more syslog messages to be collected during shutdown, and ease debugging if anything go wrong in this period. I would also recommend changing klogd like this to make sure it can be installed with any syslog daemon, not only sysklogd. diff -u /etc/init.d/klogd /tmp/klogd --- /etc/init.d/klogd 2008-02-23 20:20:08.000000000 +0100 +++ /tmp/klogd 2008-05-08 21:42:25.000000000 +0200 @@ -3,8 +3,8 @@ ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: klogd -# Required-Start: sysklogd -# Required-Stop: sysklogd +# Required-Start: $syslog +# Required-Stop: $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Kernel logger Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
