mu 7r7b gpm shutdown failure report

When shutting down mu7r7b with a gpm server running
I get the following messages:

Stopping gpm: 2943, failed (not running?).
Disabling Internet services ...
Shutting down VNC server ...
Shutting down SMB service: smbd, nmbd ...

It appears that gpm is killed by the gpm -k command in
/setup/fun/gpm.fun
before reaching the kill commands in the setup script.

suggest removing the line from gpm.fun as detailed below:

stop()
{
gpm -k 2>/dev/null # Remove this line
stop-daemon gpm
}

Whilst investigating this problem I noted an error in the path statement
in /etc/rc.6 It is probably benign but could cause problems if new
scripts
are added.

# Set the path.
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin

which should it be?

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

Clive
