Hmm? How about replicate the process and observe the results?
Well, I wasn't sure if that was the exact/entire process or just a summary.
"time
sh /etc/rc shutdown". See what's still running. kill -HUP everything
except init and your session and see what's still running 5 seconds
later.
OK I'll try that, thanks.
I'm missing something.
Logged in as root, 'sh /etc/rc shutdown' returns instantly and according
'ps' everything's still running. Trying to then kill -HUP half the
processes doesn't work (they just restart).
