Why don't you simply define you own halt script, that calls "rcvmware 
stop", waits for it to return (successfully?), then it calls init 6 or 
halt?

If the problem is that it doesn't wait for vmware to stop, then stop it 
separately.

Otherwise, you'd have to hack "/etc/init.d/rc", which is not so simple 
nowdays; I don't see where to put this logic from a cursory glance at it.



P.S.: Could you switch to a shorter crypt signature, a standard pgp one, 
for instance, please? A PKCS7 is good, certainly, but... it adds 3.3KiB to 
all your messages, which usually end at 11 KiB, double than normal.
