That's a good point, but I just tried it with an rc.shutdown script that contains only the touch statement, and the file wasn't touched (and I have tried running the touch manually). I should also add that this problem has survived a world+kernel rebuild to 7.0-RC2, which included the use of mergemaster. All the scripts under /etc should be the ones in the repository. >Is anything showing up in the log? No, just that it's rebooting and that syslog is exiting. On the console I see the stuff that follows the rc.shutdown, the diminishing counters etc.
