Thanks. We keep bumping into issues similar to this with the different halt
implementations.

I don't immediately have a really good solution.

My gut reaction is that runit's halt should either support the sysvinit options
even if noop.

I have no real experience of runit yet. What is the relationship between it an
initscripts? When are the initscripts used? Is there something you can do within
src:runit to avoid this?

Thanks

Mark
