In inittab where you catch ctl-alt-del is where you define the action on Signal Shutdown. To log off the virtual machine after a halt, use vmpoff=LOGOFF in your IPL parameters.

Then Linux will shutdown, regardless of logged-in users, processes running, etc., though the exact time required to do so is not deterministic, due to file systems being marked, scripts being run and a certain slack granted to processes to drop dead cleanly :) I can see that the script stuff could in some scenarios take a L-O-N-G time to run. I wonder what the tail end of that code in Linux/390 looks like? On a PC it does a busy loop after signalling APM (power mgt) to poweroff once or twice. Does Linux/390 LOGOFF in lieu of powerdown? Maybe that code is broken. -- Jack J. Woehr # "Self-delusion is http://www.well.com/~jax # half the battle!" http://www.softwoehr.com # - Zippy the Pinhead
