Re: Real slow shutdown of RedHat 6.x

[Mate Wierdl]

I do not know how the LWQ initscripts work, but probably  they just
try to terminate the qmail processes.  If you have a lot of
qmail-remotes running, it may take a while till all stop.

You may insert a timeout in the initscripts: after, say, 120s sigkill
the qmail processes.  This way, you may get duplicate messages sent
out, but you will not loose mail.

Not a great solution, but if your shutdown is urgent, better than nothing.
