my computer doesn't respond to this command !

I've opened terminal : $sudo shutdown +40 !

After 40 minutes linux goes to shutdown !

Exits linux and then appears the shutdown screen ! Everything is good until 90% ! There it get stuck !

PS : I'm using LinuxMint !

Any help is appreciated as always

Code:

sudo shutdown -P now

Need to give it a flag.

Shutdown only takes you to runlevel 3, it won't power down via APCI.

-r = reboot
-P = power down
etc.

that worked .... ! Thanks VS

Can you tell me please how to cancel a shutdown that will occur ?

Well, a shutdown isn't a monolithic event like on a Windows system. You can't issue another shutdown command to stop an already-scheduled one.

I'm not at a place where I can test this, but try this:

issue a shutdown command like shutdown -P +120
do this command:

Code:

sudo ps ax | grep shutdown

if you see a shutdown process, you should be able to kill it (need to sudo), and that will prevent the shutdown.

If you catch it before it kicks off... if you stop the process mid-stream (you'd have to be quick I'm thinking) you'd probably be better off to perform a shutdown -r now to let all process that had been stopped before you halted the shutdown to get back up and running. Weird things can happen on a box if you're half-way shut down.

In understand ! I need to -R instead of killing the process ! Is more recommended ! Right ?

No, Perks is not fully understanding I don't think.

You can kill the shutdown call as long as you kill it long before it executes if you schedule it far in advance. Like in the example I gave you.

That's what I'm thinking too

No, I get you VS - I was meaning exactly the same thing - so long as you halt the shutdown BEFORE it kicks in (so it's still in pre-timer mode, not actually shutting things down) then you're good to go ... if it gets going it'll get dodgy for you to stop it. I'm right with you.
