That gives INN about, um, 10 seconds to clean up and go away? That is not good (I don't know about anybody else, but all the news servers I work with have newsfeeds countable in terms of dozens, and 10 seconds on a busy box is nothing, particularly if you've just signalled TERM to fifty nntplink processes that are now all trying to write out batch files). However, I am not arguing _for_ Ollivier's changes, by any stretch of the imagination. If you type "shutdown" without bothering to take down INN and make sure all's well, you darn well get what you deserve. I'm not a fan of the SVR4-style 10-trillion-shell-script crud (Solaris is horrible), and I'd just as soon prefer to keep it simple. ;-) JMHO. ...
