Package: sysvinit Version: 2.88dsf-22.1 Severity: normal In newer releases sysvinit leaves the current tty with a hang init and appending shell, when doing for example a "init 2" in runlevel 1. Killing the shell process with "kill -9 pid" returns the tty to normal operation. As workaround it is also possible to logout of the shell immediately at runlevel change with "init 2 && exit".
Nonetheless this trick wasn't neccessary in sysvinit releases until Squeeze, so there has to be a recent change in sysvinit or initscripts that is causing this behavior. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii debianutils 4.2.1 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-22.1 ii libc6 2.13-27 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-2 ii libsepol1 2.1.4-2 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-22.1 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-22.1 sysvinit recommends no packages. sysvinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
