[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#541196: WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence

[Goswin von Brederlow]

Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-62
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d

Hi,

under Lenny I get a warning from invoke-rc.d during boot when dhcp runs:

invoke-rc.d: ----------------------------------------------------
invoke-rc.d: WARNING: invoke-rc.d called during shutdown sequence
invoke-rc.d: enabling safe mode: initscript policy layer disabled
invoke-rc.d: ----------------------------------------------------

The runlevel check returns 0, which I believe is correct as the system
is still in rcS.d. The real problem I think comes from the check for
"init  boot". I added a 'ps -fp 1' command at the place where it
checks the runlevel and got the following:

+ ps -fp 1
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0 29 13:26 ?        00:00:07 init [#]

Looks like init sets a different command than what invoke-rc.d
expects. After the boot has finished I get:

UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 11:26 ?        00:00:07 init [2]

MfG
