+I have attached an LSB-compliant init script for dtlogin as an update to
+the current wiki. All instructions currently on the wiki should be left.
+This only replaces the script contents. This allows dtlogin to be
+controlled using either of the following syntax:
+
+/etc/init.d/dtlogin start | stop | restart | status
+service dtlogin start | stop | restart | status
+
+With the old script, dtlogin would be restarted on shutdown which resulted
+in the system hanging. This script allows CDE to be properly shutdown on
+halt or restarts.
+
+If anyone can improve/change/enhance this script, please feel free. This is
+just my attempt at getting a working version so my system doesn't hang.
+Also, note that there is no #!/bin/sh at the start of the file. It is not
+necessary and will cause the script not to work properly.
