Hi all, I am sure you've all once typed 'halt<enter>' only to notice that you were in an active SSH session and the machine on the other side of $BIG_DISTANCE obediently followed your request. I've done it way too much, so I ended up hacking up http://svn.madduck.net/pub/sbin/base/shutdown This script, along with symlinks from halt and reboot, lives in /usr/local/sbin on all my systems -- and thus I would like to see it in Debian proper. However, I feel that it's too small for a separate package, and I am not sure sysv-utils is the appropriate place, even if debconf would ask the user whether s/he wanted that safety net. We have debianutils, moreutils, coreutils, etc. Is there a package for random small admin utils? Any suggestions on how I might manage to include that shell script with etch still, and in a sensible way? Lars suggested openssh-server, which would make sense, but I doubt it would happen.
