"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.
Hmm, you truncated the suggested steps...

slowing you down; for each one figure out whether and when it should
have died."
I took that to mean:
1) run (presumably as root) 'time sh /etc/rc shutdown'
2) check 'ps -aux' to see what's still running
3) 'kill -HUP [PID]' for each of the remaining processes
4) check 'ps -aux' again
5) 'kill -TERM [PID]' for each of the remaining processes
6) check 'ps -aux' again
I appear to be hung up near the beginning. 'sh /etc/rc shutdown' doesn't
appear to do anything, since it returns instantly and the ps output from
(2) is identical to ps output from before 'sh /etc/rc shutdown'. (3)
"doesn't work" in the sense that it doesn't appear to actually stop
[m]any services (presumably because I didn't do something correctly
before this point).
Like I said, I'm missing something. There were a couple assumptions in
there somewhere that I'm not picking up on. What exactly am I supposed
to do in what order?
