I am connecting to my Fedora server via VNC. When I go to the System menu, I don't see a shut down menu item, just a log off.
I don't have a monitor on this server, and I'd like to be able to shut down the server from my VNC session. How can I do that with the current configure? Is there a script I can run, or some other option?
Recently I installed vncserver (tigervnc) on my desktop. Ever since my computer refuses to shutdown normally. At shutdown the following message pops up: Quote: System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in Then I have to enter the root password to shutdown. If I stop vncserver before, the computer shuts down normally.

I have installed a cluster computer with 10 nodes . The manufacturer is HP . All nodes and the master node have redhat enterprise linux installed in them . When I shutdown the nodes from the master terminal using "shutdown -h now" they get shutdown . But they dont get completely turned off . This issue bothers me when the power supply is given , all nodes boot up simultaneously generating a huge heat .
Thing to note : When we shutdown our PC they get completely turned off . When the power supply is given , a press on the Power On button is required to boot the system. But , why does it not happpen in the case of cluster? Is there any other way of completely turning off the nodes from the master terminal ?
when my pc boots and shuts down my monitor goes into 'input out of range' mode for a bit between the gui and the text only phases of boot/shutdown.is there a way to fix this? or where to start troubleshooting?also, when it shuts down it hangs after coming back to the text only part
View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot locate shutdown log for Linux shutdown to check various activities carried out during shutdown. I can view Startup Log which is availble on console>Applications>System Tools>System Logs.
I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.
I cant shutdown without running sudo shutdown. When I try to use the default gnome shut down it takes me back to the logon screen. Fresh install today and I've had the same problem on other installs.

There is no HDD activity and I then have to perform a hard shutdown (press and hold the power button for 5 seconds) which is not ideal.

yum groupinstall "Moblin Desktop Environment" The DE works but there are no applications of anykind installed except for volume control and network devices, I can't even log out or shutdown without switching to a TTY.
I have used moblin before and I'm assuming I am just missing some part of the environment? How can I get those base apps installed?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm playing with CRON to perform an automated shutdown. While I'm testing I want CRON to shutdown the PC every 10 min. Here is the crontab.

I see the command being run in the CRON log, but the PC doesn't shutdown.

I have been using this tip at URL.. to delete the temporary files created in /tmp for quite a few Fedora versions. But, I just found out that it does not work in F12. Is there are reason why it doesn't work?
You can put this into /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog into the "stop)" section. This will clean up /tmp at every shutdown and keep your disk clean. Please note that you should not run this command when X-Windows is running.
Shutdown hangs after recent update(s) and will not power off, requiring use of manual power switchHave tried the following ..1 # shutdown -P now .. in terminal .. same result2 Disabled selinux .. same result

There is no Plymouth on shutdown after kernel-update.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI currently run kernel 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686 (sort of). When I select from the Gnome menu System -> Shutdown and select Shutdown from the dialog, my system only logs out, presenting me with the greeting screen. While this is a minor problem and I rarely shutdown my machine, it is mildly disconcerting.I have dropped back to 2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686 and that shutdowns properly using this method. (Also, 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686 works properly). I can imagine that it might close some security issue in which an unauthorized user is able to halt the entire machine. Especially if this is something that will continue in future releases of the kernel.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust read through some cron manuals. (man -k cron).Didnt understood that much though.I'm a gamer and loosing control over time at nights.
So what i want is that my computer shuts down itself at latest 1:30 am. Do i need to set up the command for each day (monday, tuesday.. and so on) or is there an option simliar to my 'example' below?
€dit: Both examples should do the trick.
Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
30 1 * * 1,2,3,4,5 shutdown -h +5 Get some sleep dude!
30 1 * * 1-5 shutdown -h +5 Get some sleep dude!
Where as 1 to 5 would be all weekdays, but not saturday or sunday morning at 1:30am.If i can shorten it to 1 line instead of 7 lines (one per day of week) that would be great.

My root account seems to be insulted by a 'non-root' user!.When I am doing updates or other important work as root any silly user can just 'halt' my computer. Can somebody tell me how to set up my computer so that when root is logged in no other user can simply halt the computer.
