Our 31-bit SLES 9 SP1 guests on z/VM5.1 catch the CP SIGNAL and do the ctrlaltdel processing we defined in /etc/inittab i.e. "/sbin/shutdown -h now"
Try CP Q SIGNALS before and after you send the SIGNAL or FORCE command to see if response shows your SLES 9 guest is enabled for and processing the signal; My guest's console shows these messages when it starts to process the signal: INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0 INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal -------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

I have other Suse guests that are already doing this with no problem. However, they are all SLES 8 or SLES 9 64 bit systems. I changed the /etc/inittab file to contain the proper "/sbin/shutdown -h now", just like the other systems. However, the SLES 9 31bit system seems to know nothing about it. It does not react to the CP SIGNAL at all, and z/VM ends up forcing the machine off. All the others still work fine. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is this a problem with the SLES 9 31bit kernel? I have applied all the latest patches for it.
