We don't talk about the whole range, and we don't talk about all scripts. We are only talking about the last n (n ~= 5) scripts that need to be executed for shutdown (reboot || halt). Miquel has already posted a list of the scripts and I did, too. At K90 the last "normal" script is run, so we really only have K91 up to K99. If we move K89 (atd) to K79 and K90 (sysklogd) to K80, we'll have another 10 sequence numbers. > Miquel> Nope.

E.g. a Slowaris box at work uses 5 scripts that need to run a particular order, we only have 2 of them and 3 that they doesn't have. Fortunately they don't have Sxx scripts that need to be called with the "stop" argument. :-) > Then where in the thread (which I did read) did you mention removing > the throughly broken (IMNSHO) use S?? as a shut-down mechaism? Right at the beginning he admitted that the mechanism is broken and that it would be dangerous to change it now as it would break several systems.
