The script is called by ppp on a link down event.  That is a link down
for ANY reason, including a shutdown.  The problem is that ppp doesn't
differentiate on why the link went down, just that it went down.  Now,
when rc.shutdown executes, it writes a stop file to /tmp that
ppp.linkdown.sh checks for.  If it finds that file, then I have it do
something alittle different.  Does it take long to execute?  Nope, it
runs quite fast, which may be part of the problem.  Because this is
called from ppp and not rc.shutdown, init is killing it before it
finishes because init thinks that it is not part of the system shutdown
sequence.

I haven't used ppp(8) - I prefer pppd(8) -  so I'm not familiar with
ppp.linkdown.sh. If this is a shell script, there's a couple of things that
I've seen cause strange script behaviour: lack of default environment and
lack of TTY. This usually shows up in scripts that work fine at the command
line, but fail under other circumstances (such as crontabs).

Does it take more than 2 minutes at the command line?

Have you tried adding

set -x

at the start to see where it's failing? If it's called by rc.shutdown the
output should be to the console, but I'm not sure what ppp(8) does with
script output.

The problem is that a ppp.linkdown.sh script needs to do something and
it's not doing it.  Works fine if I execute the script normally from the
command line though using the approperiate parameters that ppp would
send it.  It seems that init is killing the script before the script can
finish, which is the problem.

BTW, that oid, kern.shutdown_timeout does not exist.  I'm running
4.9-RELEASE.

>From line 99 of /usr/src/sbin/init/init.c,

  #define DEATH_SCRIPT  120  /* wait for 2min for /etc/rc.shutdown */

and on line 1576 it looks like you can change this with the sysctl
'kern.shutdown_timeout'.

But 2 minutes is a long time for a shell script - are you sure that
everything is working correctly?

Controlling init on shutdown/reboot

2003-12-01 Thread Daniel Rudy
Hello,

How does one allocate more time for /etc/rc.shutdown?  It seems that
some of my scripts are not being executed when the system shuts down or
reboots.
