Hi all,

it isn't a problem, but just to improve my poor knowledge of DUnix.
I performed a
# shutdown -h now (also the same mit -r -f)
The message "system is going down immediately" came but not the
message "shutdown time arrived" and nothing happened. Repeating
this gave the same result. A
# ps
showed all shutdown attempts with a state "I<". The system was
rather idle with only a few users.

After rebooting the system the shutdown worked again as expected.
What can be the reason for this behavior?

Thanks and regards

Otto
