I can not help much but I have the same problem. I've found a dirty work around that helped me somewhat. in /etc/init.d/sendsigs I changed line 124 if [ $seq -ge 300 ] ; then against if [ $seq -ge 30 ] ; then Here system waits for any jobs in stop/killed state for 300 seconds to terminate. Unfortunately a trinity job (might be hald, can't remeber exactly) does not terrminate. Thus the system waits 5 minutes to continue the shutdown. I shortened this time to 30 seconds. It now shuts down but does not switch off. Gerhard
