Watching the shutdown sequence? [message #23148]

Is there any way to watch the shutdown sequence of a VE run? What I'd like to see is the equivalent of running shutdown from the command line and watching all the services going down from the console.

I reciently upgraded to Fedora 8 and the VE shutdown is now a lot slower that it used to be. Trying to figure out why.

You can do something like the following:

(inside a VE):

mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.real
cat > /sbin/init << EOF
#!/bin/sh
exec /sbin/init.real </dev/null > /tmp/init.log 2>&1
EOF
chmod a+x /sbin/init

Then reboot a VE and watch /tmp/init.log for new messages.

If that works for you could you please document it on wiki?

I was hoping for something that I could watch live so I can see where the delay is. Any way to do that?

Is running

tail -f /vz/private/NNN/tmp/init.log

from the other console sufficient?

You can even create /tmp/init.log as a named pipe and read from it using tail.
