[SOLVED] restart doesn't work

cccc · 06-03-2011, 04:33 PM

hi

I cannot restart my squeeze as a root user.
I try:

Code:

# shutdown -r now

Broadcast message from root@WZHlinux2 (pts/0) (Fri Jun  3 23:29:33 2011):

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

# init 6

but nothing happens.

BTW:

Code:

# shutdown -h now

and

Code:

# init0

works.

What's wrong?

Is there anything in the syslog files to indicate what is happening and where it is failing?

Code:

# tail -f /var/log/syslog

try

reboot -f

Does that work ?

Yes, this works, but howto get shutdown -r now or init6 working?

One of the stop scripts probably "hangs" the process for whatever reason.
I'd go to a terminal and execute them manually one by one so you can find out which one hangs. Goto tty2 for example and then do

invoke-rc.d alsa-utils stop
invoke-rc.d anacron stop
...
and so on.

Thx, I couldn't identify this problem so I've restored from the backup.
Now it works again.
