Reduce the timeout of exactly what/where? This happens with the openSUSEes and
the Debians.
Continuous Ctrl-Alt-Delete should force immediate response, but not unusually it
makes the situation worse, freezing after 90 seconds instead of the expectation,
necessitating power or reset button.
Not sure what exact command you're running, but do
also add a halt flag if
it's available.
"option to halt services before rebooting.
"shutdown -h now" is a graceful
shutdown, and "reboot -h now" is a graceful reboot."
--Source unknown (CentOS)
# alias | egrep 'boo|ff'
alias Off='cd; umount -a; shutdown -h now'
alias Reboot='cd; umount -a; shutdown -r now'
These I do whilst logged out of the TDM greeter, so it shouldn't be doing
anything but waiting. It shouldn't matter what it's waiting for, whether an
attempt to log in or a direction to reboot or shutdown.
