Yeah, I think this is one of the weirder problems I've had in linux and
I'm hoping someone else might have some insight. halt and its sibling
"shutdown -h now" don't work on my system anymore. If I run them as root
or a normal user they will shut down most of the services (though not
all) and then it just says System halted. If I press enter it drops me
back to a prompt where I can still do everything. I try it repeatedly
and it will take a few seconds and then say System halted and again I
can press enter and get a prompt. It doesn't do the sending SIGHUP and
then sending SIGKILL like it used to. It doesn't actually turn off the
system like it used to either. My only option so far has been to run
halt and then shutdown the remaining service or two, run sync, and then
pull the power plug on it. (No, the power button won't turn it off in
those circumstances either for some reason)
The problem just started relatively recently and if I check my version
of SysVinit which includes halt then it is version 2.8.5-1mdk. I'm not
sure if it broke on that upgrade or during a later 2.8.4 upgrade or
something totally unrelated. Any ideas?-- Michael Golden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
