Shutdown problem

[Njanja]

Hello,

When I turn off my NAS, I get this message (see picture). Then I wonder, can I do something about it or do I have to reinstall everything

What HW and SW config?

What method did you use to shutdown?
1. GUI
2. Power button
3. Shell command

What happened when you pressed "any key?"

If I run the shutdown -h now command from the command line in FreeBSD / FreeNAS / TrueNAS, it did something like that if I remember correctly.

However, if I use shutdown -p now it does the correct thing.

Just a slight difference from Linux.

HI
I use Cron Job command "shutdown -h now", from another nas.
Have two identical NAS, and on one works, while on the other does not.
What are the differences between shutdown -p and shutdown -h?

-h - halt the operating system
-p - power off with ACPI

Code:

man shutdown
[...]
     -h      The system is halted at the specified time.

     -p      The system is halted and the power is turned off (hardware
             support required, otherwise the system is halted) at the
             specified time.

     -r      The system is rebooted at the specified time.

Just try "-p". You can read the manual page if you want:

shutdown(8) [freebsd man page]

Some systems just don't do the "right thing" when shutting down using "-h", under FreeBSD. But, it appears "-p" always does the "right thing".

-h never powers off. That is the "right thing" because it is the intended and documented behavior.
