Comment 5 for bug 34537

Obviously that won't work, since /etc/init.d/sendsigs will just SIGKILL it later.

I have a usplash patch which shuts down gracefully, so that the messages after sendsigs are not obscured. Ironically, this looks worse, but is necessary in order to get the live CD working properly (it prompts the user to press enter after they've ejected the CD, which must happen very late).

If we insist on keeping usplash alive until the very end of the boot process, it's going to be messy. sendsigs uses killall5, which isn't very interested in excluding certain processes.

Another option would be to silence the remaining init scripts, so that the screen is simply blank from this point unless there is an error (it's only a few seconds)
