/sbin/reboot doesn't run /etc/init.d/rcK

Description

My inittab has this:

# Stuff to do for the 3-finger salute
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

# Stuff to do before rebooting
::ctrlaltdel:/etc/init.d/rcK
::ctrlaltdel:/bin/umount -a -r
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/swapoff -a

But the rcK script, which runs the "stop" function of all init scripts, is not getting run when /sbin/reboot is called.

To get around this I can do the following:
  • Create a postbuild script in Buildroot
  • If /sbin/reboot.bin does not exist but /sbin/reboot does,

cp /sbin/reboot /sbin/reboot.bin
create /sbin/reboot.sh to call rcK && /sbin/reboot.bin
ln -s /sbin/reboot.sh /sbin/reboot

I looked at the init code in Busybox. SHUTDOWN is the correct event to recognize, but only a SIGTERM actually causes the SHUTDOWN events to be processed. reboot issues a SIGINT.

So the way around this is to have a postinstall script in the Buildroot build that removes /sbin/reboot and replaces it with the following script:

#!/bin/sh
kill -15 1

I should check on the Busybox list as to my interpretation here. Maybe I missed something. But it seems like /sbin/reboot should cause SIGTERM and not SIGINIT if you want to be able to run SHUTDOWN events in init.

For reasons not yet clear, this issue has cleared up on the latest build. It was mostly likely caused by a combination of issues related to how I modified the run time including inittab.

For now, the issue is resolved. We'll return to it again if it shows up again.

Retried this today. /sbin/reboot does, indeed, run rcK. Not sure what the original problem was, but it's not there now.

Closing this issue.
