So the output on shutting down is now similar to the original but without the rpcbind line? I think neither rsyslogd nor rpcbind is the problem here. gnome-helper-pty comes in the libvte9 package and has a number of reverse depends; synaptic and gnome-terminal are among them. You could close down any such programs and check with ps whether gnome-helper-pty is still running before shutting down. Or log out and check. On shutdown, /etc/init.d/sendsigs sends killall5 -15 to processes. If a process does not respond it follows up with a SIGKILL. The question is why gnome-helper-pty is not responding to a SIGTERM. My problem (which I think I've now solved) was because a process which I had started at boot time had not completed, so it refused to go away when asked to politely. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
