busybox: Hide shutdown message from users
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When kexec-ing to the next kernel a user will see a scary message about
shutting down the system:

 The system is going down NOW!
 Sent SIGTERM to all processes
 Sent SIGKILL to all processes

This patch suppresses those messages.

Resolves #2385

Subject: [PATCH] init: Only print shutdown messages to log

We disable them from appearing on the console so users are not confused
as the system kexec's to the next kernel. This suppresses these
messages:

The system is going down NOW!
Sent SIGTERM to all processes
Sent SIGKILL to all processes
