The relevant portions of /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d are here: RUNLEVEL=/sbin/runlevel RL=`${RUNLEVEL} | sed 's/.*\ //'` ## Handles shutdown sequences VERY safely ## i.e.: forget about policy, and do all we can to run the script. ## BTW, why the heck are we being run in a shutdown runlevel?! if test x${RL} = x0 || test x${RL} = x6 ; then FORCE=yes RETRY=yes POLICYHELPER= BEQUIET= printerror ---------------------------------------------------- printerror WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence printerror enabling safe mode: initscript policy layer disabled printerror ---------------------------------------------------- fi So I suppose the first question is, what's the output of /sbin/runlevel on your system? -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
