I never knew about this "feature". 7 or more, but it only works sometimes, and often far short of instantly as it claims when keyed. If the shutdown obstacles include failing to write sound card config or stopping various services that never started in the first place, then it doesn't help at all.
I have to systematically use this "feature" on a server is not willing to shut-down an lvm partition (no idea why), and it works.
However I fully agree that where hardware is involved the results are unpredictable.
I'll try next time if I remember. Till now I pulled the cable. Or the main power switch, and endure the long fsck afterwards.
Alt-SysRq reisub doesn't work?
I never managed to do it. I need to write the procedure in a paper stuck to the machine near the button :-p or I'll never remember how to do it. I think I tried once, did not work, years ago. Doesn't it have to be enabled?
BTW: Instead of the "b" in "reisub", you can use an "o", which is "poweroff". -- -Gerry Makaro aka Fraser_Bell on the forums, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
