I feel lonely like this, replying to myself all the time. :-)

I solved the problem. Instead of trying to make the util-linux versions of the 
files work, I wrote my own damn files!

Actueally they are shell scripts calling init with different paramenters. They 
appear to work like a charm. I allso got ctrl-alt-del to work as i want. This 
is definetely starting to look like something.

I noticed a strange problem however. Every time i shut down, the getties dies 
except for the getties that are logged in. I have to start the shutdown 
script and then log out on that console.

I know that I can specify a timeout on svwaitdown that kills the service when 
the timeout has been reached, only this doesnt seem like a very clean 
shutdown. Is it possible to shut down the session cleanly without killing it? 
Im talking about something along the lines of what sysvinit does. Im guessing 
something you would put in the /etc/runit/getty-*/finish script.

Any ideas?
