I recently upgraded to 12.1, including systemd. I have a machine configured that powers off automatically at certain types, using crontab. In the past, I could put in the crontab "shutdown -h +30", and then I would get warning messages on the console as the shutdown approaches. With systemd, shutdown gets scheduled, but no warnings appear anywhere. The system just shuts down when the time comes.
Is there a way to reproduce this warning message behavior? The man page just says "shutdown is for compatibility only", and systemctl page does not offer any options about scheduling or warnings.
Either switch back to sysvinit. But be aware there is a sysvinit bug open which causes only some systems to need some extra time at the end of the shutdown process. Cf. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730193 See also http://en.openSUSE.org/openSUSE:Most_annoying_bugs_12.1 section Bug #725917 Problem: System is switched from sysvinit to systemd during upgrade. Workaround: is to install the sysvinit-init package. As soon as its install gets acknowledged the removal of the systemd-sysvinit package will be suggested. Or consider to check the same with the recently released systemd packages to the 12.1 update channel. I got version 37 release 3.8.1 yesterday. If you have to file a bugreport be this nice to report the bug ID back to this thread to establish a cross reference. In the bug you might also add a pointer to the listarchive at http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-03/msg00001.html And my congratulation for having filed message #1 in March 2012. :) Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
