fbsplash and shutdown splash

Shouldn't the initscripts-splash allow for the splash to be shown on shutdown? If yes, why am I  not seeing it?

/etc/rc.shutdown should have been changed, take a look.

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.

It has splash_check && /sbin/${SPLASH}_wrapper shutdown

Still, I don't get a splash.

With current sysvinit and initscripts, splash on shutdown is impossible. The splash daemon is killed by killall5.

Re: fbsplash and shutdown splash

Shouldn't an if statement fix it?

if pidof process eq splash:
  don't kill
