Long term I may try to incorporate it in shutdown.c (or call your wrapper from shutdown.c) and support the case where no at is found, but for now this looks fine. I'm going to add it to the next version of runit in unstable. Best, Lorenzo side note, not a blocker: is wall still working on Debian systems? I can't print any message with it on my system, and i found https://sources.debian.org/src/util-linux/2.41-5/debian/NEWS#L1-L9 https://tracker.debian.org/news/1515294/accepted-util-linux-2393-11-source-into-unstable/ > > Thanks! > > András > > -- System Information: > Init: runit (via /run/runit.stopit) >
