Hi all,

I have a really strange problem. I don't know when it happend, but sometime in the last week the /sbin/halt, reboot, shutdown, etc. script became deleted!
And I have really absolutely no idea why and how!

But sometimes it would be nice, to be able to shut down or reboot the machine!
Can someone help me getting this scripts back?

Maybe you can use /sbin/init to halt and reboot.
Type as root init 0 to halt and init 6 to reboot.

Hmm, you can try emerging the package that contains those files (if emerge still works for you). I think baselayout - though you may be missing some files from other packages as well. Do a "grep -R [whatever] *" in /var/db/pkg to find out what packages contain files you're missing .

Don't seems like they are in baselayout...
Any other ideas in which package they could be?

It get's a lot of movement error in /dev, which shouldn't be related to my problem.
I cancelled the ebuild now, and copied the init script by hand to sbin from the rcscripts package. but I still miss reboot, shutdown, etc.
