Meino is trying to get his embedded (hack job) to shutdown. He first needs to get this accomplished before finding/developing a robust solution for his unique embedded needs. This is how most embedded workflows propagte, often with a singular dev. Meino is very lucky, he has the gentoo community to toss him ideas on a regular basis. So no, not part of regular system administraion. YES for a transient solution to an embedded hack. hth, James
