This is generally because sysv-init tends to not pay attention to whether a particular service has actually stopped. Many init scripts just send an appropriate signal, hope for the best, and return control. If your goal is just to shutdown the system regardless of what is actually going on, that's great... but if you value your data, that's not really a workable solution. That said, most of these cases are bugs, not really cases where the daemon is actually doing something; reporting the bugs when you run into them will help them get fixed. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die from asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
