| Summary | 0000854: init applet should provide a way to stop started applications on shutdown/reboot | ||||||||
| Description |
The init applet provides a way to call an external script when a shutdown or reboot procedure is triggered in order to perform some cleanup. Hoewer, from this script, there is no clean way to stop a process started by init. See http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-January/017628.html [^] for a usage example. Busybox init should provide a way to users to cleanly stop processes started from init. |

ml post says: I've added a shutdown script in my inittab, with the SHUTDOWN action type, in order to cleanly stop some processes upon shutdown. From init/init.c: /* run everything to be run at "shutdown". This is done _prior_ * to killing everything, in case people wish to use scripts to * shut things down gracefully... */ run_actions(SHUTDOWN); Unfortunately, these processes I'm trying to kill were previously started by "init" itself (they are configured in inittab). As a consequence, they becomes zombies with no possibility to be fully reaped from my shutdown script. <end quote> I don't understand the problem. Why do you worry about zombies - they don't keep any resources pinned down IIRC and you can shutdown machine with them still there. If you are just worried about it being "not nice", then entire SysV /etc/inittab is a big mess anyway... |
