I never bothered to post to questions (or stable) about it as I seldom shutdown my machines, but almost whenever I do, I can see this symptom. There are other weird things with shutdown on 2.1.5: For example, shutting down from an xterm (which used to work just fine) would hang up the machine instead of switching back to the console vty0 before halting. > > I have also seen a 'shutdown -h +0' go directly to rebooting. > > These problems did not appear until after upgrading from 2.1.

I guess it's a bug of some sortrs, as I see the same behaviour on two machines (though I only shut them down for kernel rebuilds and the such, which is not very often). > > thanks, > Adrian > > adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, > System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW! > NVL, NIIMS and Telemedicine Labs -->>| For an application and information > Member: League for Programming Freedom ->| see: http://www.lpf.org/ Nadav
