That's because it's poweroff and not init that runs rc.shutdown.

I successfully able to reboot or shutdown on full sysvinit. I made some modifications on rc.shutdown with the help of some code from sysvinit's boot script

You'll need to get rid of rc.sysinit and rc.shutdown to make sysvinit work, and use separate scripts with runlevels instead.

rc.sysinit works fine on sysvinit. Only the rc.shutdown script is the problem

Dont forget to add this code on /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Code: Select all
