To elaborate: the default action of shutdown(8) is (as documented) to
go to single-user mode.

So this is all very much expected. 

shutdown +5 -p 

will go to single-user mode in m 5 minutes and announce that by
sending the message "-p" to all users.

your use of shutdown(8) is unexpected, too; do you get the same result
with shutdown -p +5?

> Enter pathname of shell or return for sh

This sounds like you were in single user mode; how did you get there?
Did the OS reboot, run file system checks and failed?

Please, read "man sendbug" and use sendbug(1). 
You have a working system before you use shutdown(8), right?

Oh, you reversed the order of arguments. So -p becomes the message.

Depends on you epxectations.

-p handling is conditional on the host being able to power down by
software.  Since you neglected to include a dmesg, we must conclude
your machine just isn't capable of doing a power down by software.

2018-02-19 Thread david-maurer

Hello,

the result of the shutdown +5 -p command is unexpected :
Enter pathname of shell or return for sh

How to repeat :
in a xfce4-terminal
shutdown +5 -p
