For those of us playing along at home and trying to get this work, is there a short list of mistakes one might make (or contraindications one might overlook) in this context?
Q SIGNALS on my VM system confirms that my Linux image is waiting for a shutdown signal.
The first time I edited /etc/inittab to add this, I reversed two letters in "ctrlaltdel" and got an error message when I next did an "init 6", so I know I'm in the right file, and since the error message went away, I presume I'm spelling it correctly now. :-)
But when I actually do the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN USER xxxx WITHIN 90, it just waits 90 seconds and then logs itself off, without doing the "/sbin/shutdown -h now" specified. I know it didn't do the shutdown because when it comes back up, it takes forever doing the fsck....
For what do I look next?
Thanks, Nick

What should the ctrlaltdel line look like? If it is required...
Thanks! Eric Sammons
