This script can be used to cleanly terminate specific programs such as innd (the InterNetNews server)." also, a template is provided in /etc, so i put all the shutdown-stuff in there. running this script only on transition to single-user is counter- intuitive. /etc/rc.shutdown is the logical place to put shutdown-code, so it should be used on every shutdown. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: use "sh /etc/rc.shutdown" before halting the machine, inform administrators about the flaw in the documentation. clemens fischer >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
