Hi,
I have a computer with SuSE 9.0 installed. When I run shutdown -h now it starts the shutdown process but then hangs immediately after
running /etc/init.d/halt.local2 done
I can hit the carriage return and am left at the console with the system running. The relevant part of ps x at this point is.
296822 ? S 0:00 2 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/rc 0 296899 ? S 0:00 2 /bin/2sh /etc/init.d/rc0.d/S20halt start
What could be preventing this machine from shutting down?
Thanks, Mike
It's hung trying to run something in the /etc/init.d/halt script. Can you (1) c&p that script into an email and show it to me or to the list? (2) show the rest of the ps, as it should show some hint to what it might be hung on? -- Dwight A.
