Description Jay Berkenbilt 2003-07-26 22:02:28 UTC

Description of problem:

If you pass "confirm" on the kernel commandline to enable interface startup, you
get asked questions when changing runlevels or when shutting down.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

9.0.93, initscripts-7.28-1

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with confirm passed ot the kernel
2. change runlevels or reboot
  
Actual results:

You are asked for confirmation.  sometimes you can't answer.  Anyway, rebooting
should not stop waiting for user interaction.  I never saw this behavior in
earlier releases.

Expected results:

Booting with confirm should not affect anything except for bootup.  Whatever
checks confirm should also probably check whether booting is currently in
progress.  I haven't looked at the code, but I'm sure I've never seen this before.

Additional info:

I had booted in confirm mode in runlevel 3 and run init 5 after getting my
XF86Config set up.  I got prompted for several items.  Later, I rebooted in
level 5 with confirm (and nogui) so I could disable some services temporarily. 
When I got everything set up and rebooted, I got prompted for S00killall and
S01reboot even though I had initiated the reboot from the graphical login screen.
