Thanks Mark, I'll check that out.
Whether we use now or +1 doesn't matter too much, I prefer the +1 in case somebody is logged on, then they have a minute to save their work and log off. The signal is being sent with the cp force command, or when VM shuts down. We found Linux would shutdown, then restart. Then the cp signal time would expire and cp forced the Id off. :-( Cheers Donald Russell On Friday, January 15, 2016, Mark Post <mp...@suse.com> wrote: > >>> On 1/15/2016 at 05:28 PM, Donald Russell <russell....@gmail.com > <javascript:;>> wrote: > > In RHEL 5, changing the behavior of signal shutdown was simple: the > > shutdown command was in /etc/inittab, change that to shutdown -h ... > done. > > Actually, that wasn't ever needed. z/VM would halt the guest, even though > "shutdown -r" was in inittab. > > > With RHEL 7, everything is convertd to systemd, and it appears a signal > > shutdown performs a shutdown -r ....
