1 hi,
2
3 gentoo usually does the following if i execute halt or reboot:
4
5 sending all processes the TERM signal
6 sending all processes the KILL signal
7 stopping xdm ...
8 stopping alsasound ...
9 etc....
10
11 in may eyes, this has to be the other way round:
12 first shutdown all deamons properly with the init.d-script, and than
13 send the remaining processes the TERM and KILL signals.
14
15
16 why does gentoo handle things the way it does? redhat etc. do it the
17 other way i described. using the init.d-script sounds more resonable to me.

19 Thx
