I'm back for my monthly efforts to get SIGNAL SHUTDOWN support in a SLES8 image working under VM. In the month since I last beat my head against this particular wall, I've made sure this image has the latest and greatest patches on it. It's at SP 3 and some other fixes released by SuSE, 2.4.21-107-default, according to uname -r.
Is there any sort of verification tool for /etc/inittab to rule out any manner of stupid typos, bad assumptions, and other faults?
What kinds of log messages does one see when a SIGNAL SHUTDOWN is correctly caught? I see single lines in /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn that
(date) (time) (systemname) "kernel: CAD: Sending SIGNINT to PID 1..."
I can't tell if I should expect more than that or if that itself is a warning.
I know I've asked about this before on this list, and several of you have repeated the syntax for /etc/inittab, typically:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now
Given that I seem to have that right and seem to be at a current-enough (too current?) level of SLES 8, what else do I look for?
Thanks, Nick
