Welp, I expect you know more about it than I but if it works, the below
looks like a suitable fix until some sanity infects the author(s). That
doesn't alway act infectious though.
But "Illustrious System Administrators" are usually found in the mirror,
and while I may have such a rep, its not always in the nuances of linux.
Broadcast Engineering is a much better looking horse for me.
All I was trying to do was point out the folly of doing it as part of a
gracefull shutdown. This is one of two boxes with a ups, all 4 of the
others, are expected to survive a power failure, which they all did last
evening for 15 seconds. Out of a quiet evening with clear blue skies.
Funny part was that 15 seconds should have started the 20kw standby in
the back yard but it did not. Still scratching my thinning grey hair
over that.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
