This should be the `needwarning()` function in sysvinit's src/shutdown.c[1]. With the default setting QUIET_NONE you get: - a warning every minute in the last 10 minutes - a warning every 15 minutes in the last hour - a warning every 30 minutes in the last 3 hours - a warning every hour before that Ansgar [1] https://sources.debian.org/src/sysvinit/2.93-8/src/shutdown.c/#L467
