Shutdown (URGENT)

[Hamdy Al-Sebaey]

Hi All,
I've problem with my server L-class with OS 11.0,the server does'nt want to reboot with shudown -ry 0, the server hangt,through web console,I can'nt see nothing.
Action:
1-through GSP is started it again with RS
2-during starting,I found that the server has problem with syncer deamon(/sbin/init.d/syncer)
3-I copied this script from another server to this server,then I uses reboot in place of shutdown, everything was OK,the server is rebooted,I can see all the stop& start processes through web console.
4-I thinks that, the problem is with shutdown script.

Can any one of our colleage help me.

Thanks in advance

Hi Hamdy:

The script /sbin/init.d/syncer should not be modified as the warning within it notes!

The reason 'reboot' worked is that it really is the "tail-end" of an orderly 'shutdown'. 'shutdown' invokes the graceful /sbin/init.d scripts via the /sbin/rc.d/ startup & shutdown directories.

Hi James,
Firstly thanks for replay,but what is your idea to tackle this problem,I think reboot is a little bit hard way to reboot the server.so if you've another suggestion, would U like tell me about it.
Thanks,
Hamdy
