The -r on shutdown does say to "reboot", but if a shutdown signal has been given to the virtual machine, and the console is disconnected, CP will log off the user when Linux tries to execute the IPL. You'll see this message on the VM operator console: USER DSC LOGOFF AS LINUX1 USERS = 98 AFTER SIGNAL
I just leave this in the inittab as SUSE supplies it, and I've never had a problem. On 1/24/07, Michael MacIsaac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Did you modify the /etc/inittab for trapping Ctrl-Alt-Del (SHUTDOWN) signals? The default for both SLES and RHEL I believe is: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now The -r flag signifies a reboot. It should be reset to: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -h now If it is not, z/VM will signal Linux to shutdown, which it will do, but then reboot and crash when z/VM shuts down.
