Package: apt Version: 0.7.6 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if apt would provide a way, perhaps in doc/apt/examples, to disable user-initiated reboots. It would disable rebooting when starting and re-enable it at the end of the process.
I often upgrade machines while people are online. However, sometimes they disconnect from IM and reboot their computers while I am doing an upgrade. I'm afraid that it could make the system unbootable. Of course the easy way is to message them to tell them to keep the computer on until I tell them I'm done. But I was curious whether there was sometime that could be done automatically. There seems to be quite a few things to disable to prevent reboots: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ But on the other hand, the common case (GDM/KDM) would probably be enough. It would be a good start at least. Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
