I am having issues with my linux machine running openSUSE MicroOS. It runs fine but I can’t power it off via SSH. I tried shutdown, poweroff and halt but no command turned the machine off. I then have to physically push the power button but I don’t feel comfortable doing that too often because I might interrupt some processes which are still running? Is there something I could still try or something I did wrong?
SystemCTL systems need to use: “systemctl shutdown”.
Not sure if openSUSE uses it.
powerofforshutdownwill work on almost every distro. Even systemd ones (they are usually symlinks but doesn’t really matter because they work).@doomsdayrs @theorangeninja Not entirely correct, most will have shutdown scripts that call systemd, but that is a direct way to accomplish it.
