Given this; I propose we have (at least) a new rcorder script variable. Something like "SHUTTIME" encoding the expected number of seconds required for the daemon to shutdown in the worst case. Ideally, you'd want an overall watchdog and a per-script watchdog (so that you're not waiting the sum of all these times in most cases). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
