[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#595481: on shutdown, the initscripts don't print newlines

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-12
Severity: normal


Hi.

Not sure whether this is really in initscripts, because I guess all init-scripts are affected.

On shutdown, when each service prints its "Stopping somethign" message no newlines seem to be
printed.
So one gets some thing like (with that strange wrapping):
Stopping something.........................................  Stopping something..............
........................... Stopping something......................................... Stopp
ing something......................................... Stopping something....................
..................... Stopping something......................................... Stopping so
mething.........................................

Unfortunately bootlogd seems to not record on shutdown.


Cheers,
Chris.
