That might be part of the issue. To be honest, I haven't put any service
on, and I don't remember if the CD-ROMs came with SP 2 on or not.

OK, I need to learn how to apply service to this system anyway.... :-)

Nick,

I don't recall if you mentioned that you have any additional service applied to SLES8. I think you need SP2 for signal support. The systems that I've been working with have SP3.

The init 6 takes another part of the inittab.



Sorry, that was unclear, wasn't it? The "init 6" was just to force a
re-read of the inittab. (I appreciate the tips on other ways to do
this!)
Rich Smrcina's observation that his first test failed but his second
test failed wasn't repeated here; the second test didn't even
trigger a
LOGOFF at the of the "within" period on the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN
command in
VM. (Not that I had understood that the first time, but I took it as
some kind of good sign! :-) )

The Linux guest's console is SCIF'ed to another userid; it doesn't
showany activity when the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN is issued except for the
messagefrom CP that the interval has expired.. :-(

It looks like we're not yet in the clear on this one.... Oh, well,
that's a nice thing about VM, it's easy to generate another guest just
for this kind of testing. :-)



Yours now it looks like this?

ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r -t 4 now

I would have thought I had -h in, but this seems to work...




"-r" instead of "-h"? Odd. :-) Otherwise, yes, that's my line, for the
moment. I'll probably add a message to be sent to all users,
mostly for
debugging purposes.
