I suspect that the shutdown process has actually started immediately, but that one of the daemons that you are running (or a filesystem) is not being properly unmounted or stopped, and systemd is waiting until it hits the timeout for a shutdown. If you look at the output of journalctl -ar -b -1; you should be able to see what actually happened. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com But if, after all, we are on the wrong track, what then?
