Re: Shutdown Problem with 6.0 (no problem)

["Jose M. Sanchez" <opjose ex-pressnet com>]

If you check your /etc/inittab, you'll see that all [CTRL][ALT][DEL] does is
invoke

"/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now"

Yes it does a proper shutdown, especially if you see the system reboot
without shutdown warnings...

Since this appears to be working; you are not running SHUTDOWN as root, you
have another program called shutdown in your path, or you are specifying an
inproper sytax.
