Hi, For daemons that do not require clean shutdown to perform their operation it is possible to not explicitly stop the daemon in runlevels 0 and 6, and let sendsigs take care of stopping the daemon. This has been used in Ubuntu for a while to speed up the shutdown process. The policy has recently been changed to make it compatible with Debian, and so I am now forwarding you the patch that can help to bring these benefits in to Debian. Please consider applying the attached patch, ensuring the the version number in the postinst snippet is updated to the version in which you apply the patch. You can read more on this subject at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Teardown https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2008-June/000430.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/07/msg00005.html Thanks, Didier
