Re: [beagleboard] Shutdown from inside a service is very slow

Temporarily pressing the power button (or pulling the PWR_BUT line to ground) does shutdown the system but it seems to take much longer, often more than a minute. I have put together a small PIC and a super-capacitor setup; the PIC monitors the main power line and triggers the shutdown and
