Title:
Wrong comment in /etc/default/halt: Default behavior of "halt" changed
to halt only instead of powering off
Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Hi,
I just installed 12.04 and running "sudo halt" only halts the system
instead of powering it off.
This worked fine on 10.04 - running "halt" by itself powered off the
machine and it looks like it is still configured to poweroff the box
in /etc/default/halt in Precise but that doesn't happen.
Is this the intended behavior? If so, is it documented somewhere?
I saw a comment here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/880240/comments/4
That said that halt no longer powers off the system, but I have been
unable to find any documention explaining the change.
Thanks,
Charles
