According to the man page on my RH5 box-t sec Tell init(8) to wait sec seconds between sending processes the warning and the kill signal, before changing to another runlevel.
So the reboot will happen after +1 min. As part of the shutdown process, init will send a friendly kill signal (pretty sure it's a SIGTERM) and then wait 100 seconds before sending a SIGKILL.
If you want to wait 100 seconds before rebooting, do shutdown -r +2 I figure rounding up is better in this instance. Hugh siman hew wrote:
Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is that seems -t does not work at all. If you type: shutwodn -t 100 -rk +1; date if your interpretation is correct, the output of date should be current time + 1 minutes + 100 seconds. But the reality is just one minute. A bug of shutdown command? Thanks a lot.

However, what I got it is that the machine is rebooting right away. Is anything I missed or misunderstood here?If you do "... -t X ... Y", I think Y should be greater than X. The "now" is leading here (although I've never used -t myself).
