...because your user does not have permission to run 'shutdown'??? [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ls -l /sbin/shutdown -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18360 2006-08-18 04:40 shutdown Assuming you have sudo installed... echo '%users ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now' >> /etc/sudoers will allow your users to execute /sbin/shutdown -h now. You need to give the path of the binary because the users $PATH does not include /sbin if you followed the lfs bootscripts. > > When I press Ctrl+D I get > > init: No more processes left on this level. > > If I execute shutdown with any other switch e.g. -h or -H or -P I > get the help of > shutdown. If I combine the switch with "now" I get the same output as > above. I can reboot using the reboot command. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
