I think this is what I've done, I'll try to explain it more specific: the shell doesn't start up after the kix script is executed (especially the scripts started of the RunOnce), no matter what (sleep 1000) the shell is put on hold somehow untill the kixscript is executed. This is what happens (and what I do):

- Login script executes, places next script in RunOnce and reboots system (this works fine).
- SP5.kix runs, places next script (postsp5.kix) in RunOnce but puts the shell on hold. Thus when SP5 script is finished the shell starts up and RunOnce entries are executed and thus the postsp5 is executed before the system is actually rebooted by the SP5 and SP5 RunOnce entries also get executed before the system is rebooted (which should take place after the system reboots).

Putting another script in between SP5.kix and PostSP5.kix would solve the issue for say the user message but still wouldn't let the SP deploy in the way it was designed to be executed (run sp5, reboot, finish sp5). Obviously I don't want to take the risk to spread a half installed SP and run into all kinds of related problems.

Hopes this clarifies the issue somewhat more.
