Hi,
For daemons that do not require clean shutdown to perform their
operation it is possible to not explicitly stop the daemon in
runlevels 0 and 6, and let sendsigs take care of stopping the
daemon.
This has been used in Ubuntu for a while to speed up the shutdown
process. The policy has recently been changed to make it compatible
with Debian, and so I am now forwarding you the patch that can
help to bring these benefits in to Debian.
Please consider applying the attached patch.
You will also need a postinst snippet to remove the existing stop
links. This will look something like
# Remove shutdown and reboot links; this init script does not need them.
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "<version where patch is applied>";
then
rm -f /etc/rc0.d/K18nis /etc/rc6.d/K18nis
fi
I currently putted <version where patch is applied> to nis_3.17-18
