Actually, it might be possible with the latest killall5 and the sendsigs script (since sysvinit version 2.86.ds1-39). It is now possible to list pids that should survive sendsigs in /var/run/sendsigs.omit, and syslog might be listed there, and be killed just before /var/ is umounted. Of course, that is not what the current shutdwn sequence look like, so it does not work now. :) Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
