Description e 2000-10-06 15:14:37 UTC 
Could /etc/init.d/halt please be modified so that the lines
        command="halt"
and
        command="reboot"

add the -f flag. Thus if init has stuffed up it will still work...

Probably not. The general idea for halt and reboot is that we
want to run them through the normal shutdown process & runlevels.
