So it seems that the shutdown method of my boot program "initng" does not work properly, or so this suggests. initng installs /sbin/shutdown, and symlinks halt to /sbin/shutdown. I never installed sysvinit considering that I am trying to replace it (with minor success). So, It seems that I still might be dependant on sysvinit. I will try installing sysvinit's halt program, removing /sbin/shutdown and linking shutdown to /sbin/halt. -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
