Package: runit
Version: 2.2.0-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
runit's shutdown(8) doesn't support scheduled shutdowns. This isn't normally
a problem (if you want, you can use at(1) to schedule a shutdown); but it
breaks the "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time" feature of
unattended-upgrades.
I wrote a wrapper (in plain Bourne shell instead of zsh this time) for
runit's shutdown to support more of the features of systemd shutdown(8) more
or less transparently. This includes scheduled shutdowns (which are
implemented via at(1)). In my so far admittedly fairly minimal testing it
worked as intended.
Please consider including the wrapper in the runit package and enabling it
by default.
(I'd appreciate quick feedback on whether you will do this, because if not,
I'll build my own package, for my own use, that diverts runit's shutdown and
replaces it with my wrapper.)
Thanks!
András

# This is a wrapper around the /usr/lib/runit/shutdown that's shipped by the
# Debian runit package. Its purpose is to add support for reboot times
# other than "now", by way of scheduling the future reboot as an at(1) job;
# but while I'm at it I might as well add support for all the other systemd
# shutdown options as well.
