What I have just now is an init which will run /etc/rc.shutdown when :
1. you type ctrl-alt-del at the console,
2. you type shutdown -h some_time,
3. you type shutdown some_time to go single-user.
Any other way to bring the system down (halt/reboot/fasthalt/fastboot) DOESN'T
run /etc/rc.shutdown.
Speak up people ! What do you want between the following ?
1. nothing at all -- old BSD way
2. the half-way now (only shutdown run the script) -- what *I* have
3. init does all the work and halt/reboot/shutdown all make init run the script ...
I need your opinion, folks.
present: one for 3 (Peter) and one for 1 (Joe).
