Hello All, Is there anyway to invoke shutdown(8), set some kind of flag somewhere, send something to init(8), or make an entry in /etc/rc.shutdown that could take a system running multi-user down to single user & have it so the console doesn't need a prompt for root's shell (the console is setup as secure, so no password), and default to /bin/sh, which is the multi-user root shell. My grandiose plan is to automate a 'make world' and a kernel rebuild on my home machines. This isn't for a production, and I understand that such a delicate operation should have the sysadmin right at the console, but I'm lazy :) Have anyone else tried this out?
