I start fetchmail in daemon mode everytime I log in to my user (not root) account. Commandline is "fetchmail --keep -d 500". Before system update everything went well and fetchmail was terminated on logout. With term signal fetchmail cleans after itself removing ~/.fetchmail.pid. Now I have sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13 and I can see that on shutdown fetchmail is terminated with kill --> lockfile is not removed. I have tried this with several commandlines. Here are results: - Command "reboot" works and fetchmail is cleanly terminated - Command "shutdown -r now" does NOT work --> fetchmail is harshly killed and it has no time to clean up. - Command "halt" does NOT work, same as above Problem started when I updated my system and sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13 got installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.As normal user: "fetchmail --keep -d 500" 2."su" 3."shutdown -r now" Actual Results: After machine boots and I try to start fetchmail it stops because there is old, obsolete lockfile ~/.fetchmail.pid. After I remove this file I can again start fetchmail. I tested with kill how fetchmail works. I learned that when killing with -9 it does not clean lockfile (this is the case here). When killing with term signal -15 it cleans lockfile nicely. I think that other programs are as well killed with -9 on shutdown. But I can't prove it. Anyway I think this is a bug anyway. Of course shutdown should try terminate before harsh killing. Expected Results: Terminate running programs on shutdown, NOT kill them. emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.0-test11) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-test11 i686 AMD Duron(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
