I like the idea, though I don't know any program language. I do be bored with gdm error messages and quite slow process on my system(sometimes more than 2 minutes to shutdown).

Hello all,

Just throwing something out there for discussion. I am wondering perhaps if there would be a better restart and or shutdown method that would prove faster. I don't tend to reboot any of my systems very often but i tdid occur to me that although it is good to have certain daemons starting after being called in /etc/rc.conf, it is not really necessary from what I can tell to wait for them to stop upon shutdown or reboot. For example: mpd, network, netfs, gdm (always gives errors saying it can't find the pid anyway), dbus, hal, cron, cups, etc etc. I know this would not make a massive difference in restart or shutdown times, but it may help to optimize things in terms of speed on older machines or when services hang at restart or shutdown. The only thing I can see as being really important to do at shutdown or reboot is the unmounting of filesystems, other than that, what else is really necessary.

I took a look at the script /etc/rc.shutdown and from what I can tell with my rudimentory skills at interpreting code of any kind, it seems to call *anything at all* that was started within /etc/rc.d/

Thoughts? If I am way off in left field on this, please educate on the reason.

Thanks,

CtM
