More to the point, why would an initscript do that, since it's *already* running as root? Though I'm sufficiently out of the loop regarding the architecture that I don't see how "su" can have such complexities -- As far as I know, its purpose is to create a subprocess whose UID is different from the UID of this process; in no way is it intended to be "a separate login". Why would shutting down "logind" suddenly cause one of my subprocesses to vanish?
