Thanks. I tested your script on my system but nothing appears on the screen at all. When I shut down or reboot, the only thing I see on the console is: --- Shutting down, please wait --- or: --- Restarting, please wait --- I don't see anything after that. Neither the rsync output nor the output I expect from all of Debian's own init scripts. The only thing that shows right before the system shuts down or reboots is the message that acpid exited. Nothing else. So, perhaps this hasn't got anything to do with my custom init script but with my init system as a whole? My previous Lenny machine did show messages when shutting down. This one does not. -- Sander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
