Topic: Shut Down per keyboard

[Guido]

Hi!

I want my SME 5.5 server to be shut down per keyboard. (CTRL-ALT-DEL).
At the moment, the server makes a simple reboot.
What steps need to be taken ?

THX in advance !!!

[Harris]

Try typing "reboot -h now" (as root)

[Ray]

Thx Harris,

but i don't have a monitor installed and also don't want to ssh onto the server.
Just the old way with the keyboard.
IP-COP does a shut-down when pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL.

[Harris]

Hope you can type blind

root -> enter -> root-password -> shutdown -h now

[Harris]

Forgot some enters

root -> enter -> root-password -> enter -> shutdown -h now -> enter

[Ray]

okay. that is also a way.   ))

[guestHH]

Ctrl-Alt_Del will do, if you didn't disable it.

[Ray]

the computer makes a reboot and no shut down. thats the prob.

[Rich Lafferty]

Well, you can shutdown with "shutdown -h now"!

(Just kidding!)

Make a custom template for /etc/inittab:

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab

Start with the existing init ctrlaltdel template:

cp /etc/e-smith.templates/etc/inittab/30ctrlaltdel .

Now edit /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab/30ctrlaltdel in
your favorite text editor, changing "shutdown -t3 -r now" to
"shutdown -t3 -h now".

Then expand the template:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/inittab

And tell init to reread it:

telinit q

Now ctrl-alt-del should shut the machine down.

Cheers,

There is a way... edit a .XXX file (I can remember the file right now!)  maybe if you look at root of IPCOP (if you can!) it´s a hidden file  something like .bash or whatever...

There is a line saying what CTRL ALT DEL do... just change it to -h instead of -r

[Guido]

THX also Jáder for the hint. Will see if i can find the file....

[Guido]

So,

can't find the file. In the .bashrc file is no entry.  mmhhhhh

[Jáder Marasca]

I´ll do a google search and return to you ASAP!

[Jáder Marasca]

A quick search returned this... I have no access to a SME or a linux server right now... so just try yourself and return!
