help again plz

[lallous]

Hello,

how can I detect the process that is initiating an 'init 0' or letting
system go to runlevel 0 ?

I checked the rc0.d/messages and rc2.d/messages and all log files are zero
sized!

Isn't there any method to know what buggy script is causing that system
shutdown just after the execution of the last script in rc2.d ?

I appreciate your help.

Regards,
Elias

Have you changed ANY of the scripts yourself, or renamed them?

How do you know the shutdown occurs after the last script in /etc/rc2.d,
and not at some other time?

How are you reading /etc/rc*/messages if going into multi-user mode ends
up by doing a reboot?

Hi,

No I changed nothing; I am trying to fix a system that got this problem.

Maybe you're right, however I am sure it is happening at least after the
last rc2.d script but not before.
why? because the last message I see on screen is the message that is
generated by the last rc2.d script named as: S99xyz...

I login single mode and check the logs.

Thanks again,

Is it literaly S99xyz ??

If so rename it so the first letter is lowercase.

No, but the S99 part is true.

Referring to:

Why should I renamed the 'S' to 's' ?

Hi,

The messages are scrolling so fast just before the system is rebooting...
The 'PAUSE' key does not pause the messages while scrolling, any suggestion
?

Changing it from S99xyz to s99xyz will stop that script from running.
If the problem goes away you know it is something in that script - it
would also help if you mentioned 'literaly' what the xyz... is.
