Hi,
Yeah, that's about it. Using kmdb I found a "pwait $$" in a legacy RC
script. The line looked like this:
addpatch .... && /usr/sbin/init 6 && pwait $$
Sad thing is, that's code I wrote. :-( If the addpatch worked, the
system needs to reboot in an orderly fashion so the changes from the
patch will take effect; and the rest of the RC script must not execute.
I would have thought that an "init 6" would have eventually killed of
the shell process... guess not. I've revised my script to simply exit
early if addpatch worked.
