Description Flags
This patch changes /etc/init.d/halt so that it calls halt.local with some parameters defined in /etc/init.d/halt
none
Changes /etc/init.d/halt to call halt.local with variables used in halt as parameters. none

Description Marc Grimme 2009-04-21 13:49:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
/etc/init.d/halt calls if it exists /sbin/halt.local. It would be nice to have parameters like "$message" "$HALTARGS" "$kexec_command" "$command" being passed to /sbin/halt.local. This leads to a /sbin/halt.local with better knowledge of how it was called.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel5, fedora

How reproducible:
Create a /sbin/halt.local and you never know if it should reboot or not.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
halt.local should somehow know if it should be called as reboot or halt or power off. Therefore parameters might be an idea.

Expected results:
halt.local should be aware of that.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2009-04-21 22:29:21 UTC 
Well, the idea is that halt.local isn't necessarily doing all those things itself, so it shouldn't need that much information; it should not need to care about kexec, or what messages to echo, etc. But some of it could be useful.
Comment 3 Marc Grimme 2009-04-22 06:25:51 UTC 
I agreed. I just added all parameters to halt.local that are defined in halt. But I agree "$message" and "$HALTARGS" are enough.
Comment 6 Lukáš Nykrýn 2012-06-05 15:16:11 UTC 
We don't have /etc/init.d/halt anymore, so closing.

Changes /etc/init.d/halt to call halt.local with variables used in halt as parameters.

halt.local is called with $message, $command, $HALTARGS and $kexec_command parameters in this patch.

First three parameters have always some value, but $kexec_command is set only if $command is "reboot".

I also moved definition of $HALTARGS above the halt.local call, because otherwise it would be always unset.
