A bit roundabout, but you can also try making a 'pseudo-service'. Make it |
| 50 |
'depend' on a late-stage service so it starts last, and shuts down early. |
| 51 |
The stop() part of the pseudo-service should perform an lsof >> a file (in |
| 52 |
a directory still available during the last throes of OpenRC like, say, |
| 53 |
/etc). |

I hope I'm making sense... |
