I fail to see the problem with my shell script: unless it's called
via SSH while connected to a terminal, it does nothing else but call
/sbin/halt.real (or whatever the actual halt command is). No sudo,
no grep, no anything, just plain POSIX shell.
I agree that it would be *nice* to have a policy framework for
shutdown, but it just won't happen before etch. But I want my shell
script in etch.
Thus, unless I get other suggestions, I'll package it up in its own
package, which diverts /sbin/{reboot,halt,shutdown} and puts my
shell script in their place. I'll Enhance whatever init systems
there are and I'll ask them to add Suggests.
