I have the operators issue a signal command to shut down all linux machines cleanly (CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN USER xxx WITHIN 360). We IPL'd on Sunday and when I looked at the consoles this morning, all of the machines (about 10 of them) did not shut down cleanly. The signal command is working since I am seeing the shutdown in the VM console. Sometimes I see the following messages and sometimes I see that it gets hung up stopping Tomcat or Apache.
Running /etc/init.d/halt.local"" Sending all processes the TERM signal ..done md: recovery thread got woken up ... md: recovery thread finished ... When I tested out the signal on some of these machines, it took about 2 minutes to shut them down. I think that 6 minutes is more than enough to shut down linux machines but I am looking for further guidance on this. Does anyone have similar experiences ?
