The shutdown happening isn't a function of being on the mainframe .. If Linux is configured properly - the SIGNAL will amount to a 'shutdown -h now'. If that process is getting hung up - then I'd say it was a Linux (or whatever guest OS) issue. I'm not exactly thrilled with the whole timeout thing with CP SIGNAL, etc -- it would be nice if the z/VM system (optionally) did not shutdown at all if all the guests didn't go down - and spit out messages about what, who, when etc.... But I assume VM solutions on other platforms do pretty much the same thing? Signal the virtual machine to go down, but timeout at some point? Not sure...
