What is opt_onshutdown?

opt_onshutdown is an opt package for the Fli4L project that allows to run scripts on shutdown.
The package consists of a startup script which changes the original 'halt'/'reboot' script to call additional scripts on shutdown. They will first call '/etc/rc.shutdown' and after that all scripts in '/etc/rc0.d' that start with 'rc0.'.

After installing you can modify the script 'opt/etc/rc.shutdown' and add additional commands that should be executed on every shutdown, e.g. you could send an e-mail using OPT_SNDMAIL saying that the router is going down or something like this.

Other OPT packages could place a script in 'opt/etc/rc0.d' that undoes what the corresponding script in 'opt/etc/rc.d' did. I wrote this with OPT_EXTREMAIL in mind. eXtremail is for whatever reason not killed in time when the router is shut down so it is not possible to cleanly unmount the partition where its data is located resulting in a checkdisk next time the router starts.

As of version 2.x of FlI4L this package is obsolete since a similar functionality has been integrated into FlI4L.

Development of this package was sponsored by
headwork Consulting GmbH

Note: I am tired that some people, to whom I gave my software for free, are bitching about that it contains bugs, that I take too much time for providing updates or bugfixes or that I don't answer support requests or answer them arrogantly. Therefore I will, effective immediately, stop any support and further development. The packages will still be available for download as they currently exist, but I will no longer answer any emails, accept bug reports or even fix any bugs. There will be no adaptations to new versions of FlI4L unless I need them for myself, and in that latter case there will no updated documentation, if I make the updates available at all.
