[BusyBox] should init really run the shutdown actions before sending SIGKILL

Hi,

A change was made to init a couple of weeks ago. This change made it
in to 0.60.4:

   Revision 1.169 Mon Sep 16 06:49:06 2002 UTC by andersen
   Branch: MAIN
   Changes since 1.168: +5 -3 lines
   Diff to previous 1.168

   Let people run SHUTDOWN actions prior to killing everything
    -Erik

Is this really right? Before, my /etc/init.d/reboot file remounted
everything read-only, to avoid messing up the filesystems on reboot.

Now, the remount fails because there are still processes around
holding open files on /var.

Or is there a better way to cleanup on reboot?

Matt
