Hi Sysadmins,
I have an Alphaserver 800 with UNIX V4.0E installed. When I want to shutdown
te system with "shutdown -h now", it ends up in singleuser mode, but shortly
before it reached this state, it types out tty(n) no such device.
If I shut the system down wth INIT 0, the system reacts as expected.
If checked the /sbin/rc0 script , especially the $ARGONE variable, and it
contains "shutdown" , which means it is just correct when the system ends
up in singleuser mode.But how can the "shutdown" -Argument be passed to
/sbin/rc0 ,whenn I type in "shutdown -h now" ?
Any help would be apreciated.
P.S. I just took this system over from someone else. I also found out, that
the
former Syadmin has moved the /sbin/shutdown to some other directory. In its
place he put a script (also named shutdown) to stop some application, and
after
that he calls the "original" shutdown with the proper arguments in the other
direc-
tory.
I will place the shutdown back to its original position and solve the shutdown
of the applicaton in another way.
But anyway, does "shutdown" have to be in /sbin?
Thanks the answer on that too.
Regards,
Gottfried
