Hi
We have a mission critical Dell rackmount server.
I tried to reboot it via an ssh session and it just kept running!
The command I used was:
[root@vle tmp]# shutdown -r now
Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Tue Oct 10 08:28:44 2006):
The system is going down for reboot NOW!
Looking at /var/log/messages it says:
Oct 10 08:28:44 vle shutdown: shutting down for system reboot
But the server just keeps on running!!!
I have an identical hot backup box and it happily rebooted this morning.
Any suggestions most welcome...
Thanks
Clive
