            Bug ID: 213705
           Summary: shutdown not gracefully exiting shells losing their
                    console history.
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: joeb1 at a1poweruser.com

The normal behavior of csh shells on exit is to save the session console
command history for that user and restore the previous session history when
that user logs back in. 

The long existing problem with the shutdown, reboot, and halt commands is that
they just kill all things running including the shells of any users logged on
the system resulting in the loss of their current session console command
history.

The goal would be to have shutdown, reboot, and halt commands changed to
gracefully exit all currently running shells before starting to kill all
remaining things running or at least gracefully exit the shell that the command
was issued from.
