[Bug 1941737] Re: shutdown bug, not present in previous versions

[Steve Langasek]

Ubuntu does not use shutdown from sysvinit.  If this is a bug in
sysvinit's implementation of shutdown, then it is invalid in Ubuntu.
Are you in fact using this shutdown, or are you using the one from
systemd?

Title:
  shutdown bug, not present in previous versions

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Sysvinit (2.96-7) includes a shutdown version (/sbin/shutdown) that
  contains a bug not present in previous versions of shutdown

  It affects to QEMU VMs, like Proxmox, for example, that cannot be
  shutdown from console.

  Basically, to shutdown QEMU-Guest-Agent issues the command

  /sbin/shutdown -h -P +0

  but /sbin/shutdown refuses to work when -h and -P are present at the
  same time, although its help says explicitly that "-P can only be used
  with -h flag".

  Older versions of shutdown work correctly!! and  /sbin/shutdown -h -P
  +0  shutdown the machine as expected.

  Regards,

  Pedreter.
