Comment (by bdubbs):
Still listed as: sysvinit (2.92) unreleased; urgency=low
* The shutdown and init commands were using different default delays
between
sending processes SIGTERM and SIGKILL - they were 3 and 5 seconds,
respectively.
Unified these on 3 seconds, using a new defined value in init.h.
Updated shutdown manual page to reflect the change and better
explain
how -t and -n flags work.
Updated the init manual page with the new default value.
The updated documentation resolves Debian bug #375274.
* Remove PC speaker beep from shutdown process in dowall.c.
Closes Debian bug #614893.
Patch provided by Andreas Fackler.
* Removed unused Version variable from wall.c.
* Updated halt/reboot manual page to acknowledge the -i
flag may not properly shut down network interfaces if the interface
does not have an IP address.
Addresses Debian bug #361935.
* Applied patch from Daniel Povey which should allow killall5/pidof to
avoid locking up if it encounters stopped or zombie processes
due to broken NFS mount points.
This should allow Debian bug #719273 to be closed.
* Applied patch from Regid Ichira to clarify shutdown command
line options. Updated manual page for shutdown.
Closes Debian bug #630661.
* shutdown command was setting environment variable INIT_HALT to
"POWERDOWN", this should have been "POWEROFF" as specified in the
manual page. Fixed code to match manual page and init scripts.
Closes Debian bugs #717531 and #590895
* Added -l flag to "last" command. When used it allows "last" to
display usernames longer than 8 characters long.
* Added -q and -Q flags to shutdown command to make the "system is
going down"
message appear less often. The -q flag causes messages to only
appear at the
10 minute, 5 minute and x-hour intervals.
The -Q flag maintains complete silence up until the final "now"
warning.
* Mention GRUB as a potential boot loader in init page since LILO is
rarely used anymore, outside of Slackware.
* Swapped out ECHOPRT for ECHOE in stty settings when init brings up
emergency console. Should make backspace-erasing characters work
more naturally.
Closes Debian bug #402847.
* Updated src/Makefile to make sure we build all the software before
attempting to install.
* Removed typos from pidof manual page and killall5 page.
Closes Debian bugs #815839, #905245 and #890478
* Added -f <format> option to pidof program to allow printf
style formating.
Closes Debian bug #571590
* Added new tool (readbootlog) which will read the /var/log/boot file
produced by bootlogd. The output is displayed cleaned up so there
are no control characters. This avoids the need to use sed or
related
tools to try to clean up the contents of the log.
* Added manual page for readbootlog program. Updated bootlogd page
to reference it. Closes Debian bug #725123.
* Updated the shutdown manual page to try to make it more clear
where we are talking about an initscript called halt or the halt
program. Likewise whether we are talking about the shutdown process
or the specific shutdown program.
Should address Debian bug #374039.
* Added patch from Samuel Thibault to make project compile
on Hurd branch of Debian.
