Hi

 

I=92m having various = (probably newbie related) problems shutting down ttylinux VM=92s.

 

Firstly, using =93xm shutdown=94 causes the VM to report =93Ignore spurious shutdown request=94, after which it (not unexpectedly) does not shut down. This happens if the VM is at the login prompt.  If I issue an =93xm shutdown=94 after I=92ve logged in to the VM, nothing at all happens in the VM (not even the =93ignore spurious shutdown request=94 error message).  In both cases = xm does not report any = errors.

 

Secondly, shutdown itself = does not appear to be in the ttylinux image that I = downloaded from the xen site.  What is the preferred method of = shutting down a ttylinux = VM?

 

Thirdly, in the absence of = shutdown, I=92ve been using halt in the VM=92s.  But this apparently does not do = a clean shutdown.  In particular, = after I=92ve done a halt, it appears that the /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file is not deleted.  This leads to the following error when I boot up the VM again: =

 

Starting DHCP for interface = eth0: **** dhcpcd: already = running

****  dhcpcd: if not then delete /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid = file

        = ;    failed

 

I can delete the file, and = get the network working again on the following reboot, but after a halt and = reboot, the problem recurs.

 

Any = advice?
