?? you mean, if I am not running PostgreSQL as root? I usually log in as a regular user, then su to root, then do stuff (really old-fashioned). In the most recent example, PostgreSQL was not involved. I even turned off several things, so the only big service running should have been squid. Anyway, squid is configured to shut down after 30 seconds, so there's still a gap of several minutes between first issuing the command and actually shutting down. As I said, this happens irregularly, or at least, I didn't detect a pattern yet. Most of the time, I can shutdown or reboot the affected machines without any problems, but sometimes, they just "hang". Kind regards, --Toni++
