Re: [ros-dev] Log off reboots!

In Short, A Lot.

ReactOS needs a proper shutdown and restart sequence (Like Linux does,
when it sends TERM to all processes). Log Off is a tad harder.

In order for Log Off to work properly, all the core processes need to
be kept running (csrss, winlogon, etc), and the system needs to "Fall
back" to a login screen. To do this, a User Logon System must be
implemented, complete with per-user registry files, settings storage,
and all the associated functions therein. AFAIK.

I like that comparison, be like or better than Linux w X. Yes, one of my wishes
is to compile Ros and play music and play Condition Zero or Counter Strike all
at the same time. Before it was Quake I or II, still I can play Quake I and
compile Ros. Currently I can compile Ros, play Quake I and music with Linux running
in X. Ahh, can not wait!

Thanks,
James

I worked on this about a year ago (notifying processes about the impending
doom and killing them), I still have it in my local tree. Will try to clean
it up and commit this week.

That'd be much appreciated, GvG.

Upgrade simply means only copying over actual files, and leaving
autogenerated ones in place. Windows Upgrade copys over all files, and
reinstalls Drivers, Start Menu items, and System Services. All other
registry-based settings, such as Wallpaper, etc, are kept, since the
registry isn't usually touched, unless upgrading from a prior windows
version.
