| 306985 | 2004-12-23 19:37:00 | Hey, I'm running an FC2 system, with no X installed. When I login as root and shut the system down - with the command "shutdown now", it begins the shutdown procedure fine. But after it has sent processes the TERM signal, it just goes to a prompt that looks 'something' like sh-b2.05: And waits for me to type.... Any ideas? |

| 306986 | 2004-12-23 20:06:00 | have you tried shutdown -h now ? | ILikeLinux (1669) | ||
| 306987 | 2004-12-23 23:50:00 | I tend to use 'halt' and 'reboot' because they don't need any command line args. | bmason (508) | ||
| 306988 | 2004-12-24 01:00:00 | The strange prompt you are getting is from a minimum single-user (no password root level) session. It's intended for repairing the system. You could type halt to that prompt but it's quicker to do it from your normal running mode. :) | Graham L (2) | ||
