[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#717488: Please always launch /etc/init.d/ups-monitor when halting the system

[Fabien C.]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

please launch "/etc/init.d/ups-monitor poweroff" everytime /etc/init.d/halt is 
called, not only when INIT_HALT=POWEROFF. 

This is necessary because the user can customize the nut/upsmon shutdown 
command, which default to "shutdown -h +0", to something like "shutdown -Hh +0" 
(see /etc/nut/upsmon.conf). This could be done so that the machine does 
poweroff the disks and stop the system, but does *not* cut the power off, 
waiting for the UPS to do so. This is nice when your BIOS is configured to 
restore the last power state before the power went down: "On/Off state: Last 
state". 

The current script forbids that behavior because if INIT_HALT is not equal to 
POWEROFF, which is "unfortunately" the case with "shutdown -Hh", then 
/etc/init.d/ups-monitor is *never* called. 

Thank you.
