Hello! I have problems during shutdown with a hand-started daemon.
To make it comprehensible, I just give an example:At boot up Archlinux starts syslog-ng network cups and some other daemons, which were listed in /etc/rc.conf
Then I log in and start yacy (P2P Search engine) with /etc/rc.d/yacy start Afterwards I shutdown the computer./etc/rc.shutdown firstly stops the daemons in rc.conf:cups network and syslog-ng
Then yacy... But yacy needs an internet-connection, the network-daemonThe point is, in some situation daemons aren't stopped in the order they were started.
To solve that, I propose to use the time-stamp of the files in /var/run/daemons/ to determinate the order of shutting down the daemons. The daemons would be stopped exactly in the reversed order, they were started. This would also be a solution to Feature Request #5740 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5740). Only active daemons would be terminated, even if they are in /etc/rc.conf.
I've implemented this in the attached patch. What do you think about it? Florian PS: Sorry for my bad English
