Hi:

Do you see this message when *you* initiate a shutdown (e.g via 'shutdown' or as a part of a 'swinstall' session that is going to cause a reboot), OR does your server announce this of its own accord?

A signal 15 is a kill TERM (the default 'kill').

Regards!

I'm not initiating the Shutdown or reboot. The machine by itself goes down with that error mesg.

I'm struggling to get this up !

[Jonathan Fife]

That message might just be a symptom, and not the actual reason the server is shutting down. Is there anything in syslog that indicates what initiated the shutdown?

[Makesh Annamalai]

Syslog doesnot have any information for the shutdown.But it keeps checking the nfsd

[Dave Hutton]

Booting to single user mode does it still reboot over and over?

If not it might give you a chance to view the logs like suggested above to see if there is something other then what you think might be happening is truly the cause.

Was it patched recently? Did this just start to happen?

[Torsten.]

Something in /etc/shutdownlog and /var/adm/syslog/OLDsyslog.log ?

Thanks to everybody who ever tried to help in this regards...

The problem was in the entry in the etc/fstab for the nfs mount....after removing the same the server became stable now....

points were give !
