shutdown not shutting down :-(
Hi, Linux-user, FreeBSD-newbie posting here. I've a recent installation of FreeBSD, and when I do # shutdown now It starts the shutdown process but it hangs promting for the shell path. I think that this could be something related to the order in which partitions are unmounted. Any idea?

If you want to restart or power down the machine have a look at man 8 shutdown (especially '-p' or '-r' options).

If you want the machine to power off you can use shutdown -p now or if you just want it to halt but stay on you can use shutdown -h now the shutdown(8) man page has all the details. -Glenn Thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
