[sles-beta] systemd sysvinit-compat weirdness

[Aman Nijhawan]

Actually its a list of 20 services, I have tried getting a late debug shell on the system and it seems it is not able to swap off correctly. 

I am not doing any special mapping from my init scripts, there are a couple of scripts doing the su but they are not the ones having an issue shutting down. 

This issue is not there if I manually try to call shutdown. 

>From my understanding of systemd-sysvinit compat. It should just call the init.d script’s start and stop does it not do that?

Is there a support person you can put me in touch with that I can share my system with?

Thanks
Aman
