Thanks Robert,
I have a feeling that SIGINT isn't getting all the way to PID1. When I
do the following:
kill -s SIGINT 1
It runs rc.shutdown with the argument "reboot" and reboots the system,
just like it's supposed to. But when I press Ctrl+Alt+Del at a virtual
terminal, it doesn't. That makes me suspect that either Ctrl+Alt+Del is
sending a different interrupt to PID 1, or the SIGINT it's sending
isn't getting to PID 1.
I'll try to research if further.
Thanks again,
SteveT
