I think the current behavior is correctly, but the comment in "/etc/default/halt" sould be updated.
Currently, this file is only used by /sbin/shutdown (or by the /etc/init.d/halt, that can be called by the /sbin/shutdown depending of the situation). Updating the comment may avoid user misunderstands. In Trusty, this file is packaged in the "initscripts" package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/initscripts/filelist The default file should be: # Default behaviour of shutdown -h. Set to "halt" or "poweroff". HALT=poweroff I'm attaching a patch to the current "initscripts" package. ** Patch added: "bug_halt_outdated_docs.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/991997/+attachment/4327304/+files/bug_halt_outdated_docs.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991997 Title: Wrong comment in /etc/default/halt: Default behavior of "halt" changed to halt only instead of powering off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/991997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
