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.

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.
