What lesser-brain-dead "one of the systemd folks" solution is that?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The systemd folk seems to have gotten it right.

The problem with the "sleep" is that 5 seconds is way too long, since most processes will finish in mere milliseconds. But 5 seconds is also way too short, because if a program needs to spin up a harddisk to write out its final state, it'll need about 7 seconds to do so on the average 3.5" disk...



Kind regards,
