I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. As some background, we had a problem where every once in a very long while, someone (usually me O:) ) would get a little ahead of themselves and issue a shutdown command to shut down the system they were logged in on. Problem was, the person would be in a rush and not notice they were actually still ssh'ed into another machine when they typed it! As you can imagine, doing a "shutdown -h now" on your mail server when you're sitting at home (over an hour away) is not a pleasant thing to have happen.
Sooooo, I had this bright idea to replace shutdown with a script that would take an additional parameter of the hostname of the system. The script would then check the hostname given on the commandline against the hostname of the system it was being run on and only pass on the rest of the parameters to the real shutdown command if they matched. Soooo, the short of it is that now, /sbin/shutdown is this script and the stock shutdown command is /sbin/shutdown.real So, here is my question. How can I make it so that if I upgrade the sysvinit package on a system, it will either just not touch the /sbin/shutdown file, or better yet, redirect the new /sbin/shutdown file to /sbin/shutdown.real instead? Is that possible?
