I remote in using ssh. <div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-western"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Suggestions on how to remotely shutdown and not have a hung system are sought. (The system was hung for two weeks after I assumed that a remote shutdown had succeeded when I left town back in December!) I can sudo reboot from a remote ssh session but not do a shutdown over ssh. When try to shutdown over ssh from another PC, afterwards I see, on the PC that I tried to shutdown, the following: First, the GUI / desktop closes and the shutdown progresses to this (as literally as I could transcribe it, including "<info>"): <blockquote><tt>stopping Network connection manager wicd</tt> <tt> Start virtual private network daemon(s)</tt> <tt> No VPN is running</tt><tt> Asking all remaining processes to terminate</tt> <tt> modem manager [2981]: <info> ModemManager (version 0.5.2.0) starting</tt> <tt> modem manager [2981] Could not get the system bus. Make sure the message bus daemon is running! Message: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: </tt><tt>No such file or directory</tt> </blockquote> This modem-start / no such file sequence repeats twice with different numbers in square brackets, followed by a final modem manager starting message. Then, a hung PC with no response to ctrl-c or ctrl-d. Had to do a ctrl-alt-del to restart the system.
