Hello Peer,
Thank you for your email.
I understand what you want to achieve here, but I don’t quite unterstand why.
Why would those sessions need to be closed?
As those sessions aren't restored after a reboot, these sessions are
then useless and have to be closed anyway. I think this could be done
automatically by IPFire.
Your patch would have some other consequences which I don’t think you intend.
For example, if someone would install an update using a SSH console and if that
update upgrades OpenSSH and restarts it abort the update. The process would
terminate the updater and you would be left with an incomplete update.
I suppose what we could think about is to move terminating the SSH daemon
before the network is being shut down. Would that fix your problem?
I understand your explanation, I was unsure if my patch would also
affect the updater, but the solution you supposed would also fix the
problem I tried to solve with my patch. Could you add this to the
corresponding script?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Peer

Hi All,
I discovered, that while rebooting an IPFire instance via SSH my terminal keeps
stuck after the broadcast message because IPFire isn't closing all active
connection correctly. As it is annoying especially when using SSH in SSH
connections because all connections have to be reopened manually, I thought of
adding just one line to the init-script that closes all running sessions.
Best regards,
Peer
