Hi fellow listers, My first post here, though I've been lurking a little while.
I'm trying to get Linux guests to shut down after issuing a "SIGNAL SHUTD OWN guestname" on z/VM. I've updated /etc/inittab in Linux to make this happe n, as per the doco, but most of the time linux just ignores the request. I've tried both of the following in /etc/inittab, but neither have the desired effect for me... ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h -t 4 now and... ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now If I manually issue "shutdown -h now" on linux after "SIGNAL SHUTDOWN guestname" on z/VM, all ends as it should, with linux shutting down and t hen z/VM terminating the guest. I'm z/VM 5.2 and SUSE SLES9. Any ideas? TIA, Fred Schmidt
