This is definitely *not* true for a number of services - giving your database server 5 seconds to flush all its state to disk before it's hard terminated is not ok. So I hope you aren't really encouraging people to file bugs on *all* packages that have [06] shutdown scripts, without consideration for whether these daemons need to save state... -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
