I fail to see the problem with my shell script: unless it's called via SSH while connected to a terminal, it does nothing else but call /sbin/halt.real (or whatever the actual halt command is). No sudo, no grep, no anything, just plain POSIX shell. I agree that it would be *nice* to have a policy framework for shutdown, but it just won't happen before etch. But I want my shell script in etch. Thus, unless I get other suggestions, I'll package it up in its own package, which diverts /sbin/{reboot,halt,shutdown} and puts my shell script in their place. I'll Enhance whatever init systems there are and I'll ask them to add Suggests. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
