E.g., most likely there won't be any daemons running, etc. Yeah.. or arguably ones of value. I still like the fact that it’s running “service <foo> stop” on /etc/rc.d scripts in reverse to shut things down cleanly, as opposed to reboot(8) which just reboots. This can make a bit of a difference if you just set up a system and still have mount points setup, etc. But in most cases, yes, I would totally agree. -Ngie [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYsVf0AAoJEPWDqSZpMIYV0GAP/0cEY2HouAgx5xzPwtE+brBR eW9QWMTHDA5cjb2ZN8EFnGl7mwY9mxDD+nW6SsXELUwqKmh/Et+REYL5xzOavEIu 47vPKuI+v1YQ60yvAnpaEHCeToT71pJEolJlE0ZEuwFtYdQnnz/EgU74txpYyfxv BgahG6AocryUXjy5vgqfCEuiDh1V+cOqz9Gkny9j6/z2YsQ45ouJqJnW8N7waBRJ kMZVNoO8R5dGI77pR+xugRVloPytgtYh1yNFo9P761K/gvtuzxVpFYwM5i5RtD1D MEIbEhsM4UQ5xiMTn4XefQV+UimN/l/QOjik/S/UDlxuwpOGHgwI7Y+7iV/2zQt5 lyMnN5212OGZNQMj22aJYwKYwgq9F9R1LfRcffomIZTZRYyhqkcBdf+S5b/AKehW Scgadu0s6vo1LxLpQomYSZ/8/JMjkAAzYrn5ebkksx/KNi8+/S6G35B5/39auQ8V 4Z8ImFPv/jkqosrrT20QNJtz/QEV3my1wMTAfdCJjeNnL+eTX75GXn4Bt+hZhTol 4GpLvRO2U5lhaqUMj3j34JFxjsIC3xpQOxvdQ2cq8a+p3CQp+pBM9DYdiAJVyQX9 wqd3c8oEG0tub1074sBbWN8X94Jf31sNVdtQId94GvSgcrOQ6XavjptHVf6ehab9 vj8IeiUlRc3uHgBduM1m =fWuv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
