I disagree. The subset of options supported by Upstart for things like shutdown are the most common subset of System V-style UNIXes. I'm not interested in supporting every option or flag added by every variant and distro over the years, there are too many and they conflict.
The Upstart shutdown command is deliberately limited to only taking options that specify *how* to shutdown. Amongst other things, this allows the entire shutdown process to be moved into the init daemon later, and those just being flags passed to a D-Bus method call. ** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- Please add option -f and -F to shutdown for LPIC compatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
