Yes, it's the same except for the "rpcbind" line that now is not present because the service has not been started. > I think neither rsyslogd nor rpcbind is the problem here.

I have tried, for instance, to manually stop "gnome-pty-helper" service but is restarted/spawned again. > On shutdown, /etc/init.d/sendsigs sends killall5 -15 to processes.

What I find strtange is that "kill -9 rsyslog" stops the service just fine while the shutting down/restarting sequence does not. > 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. I'll check the services and play with them a bit, let's see if I can find what is causing this.
