I've been trying the reboot, sudo shutdown -r now (which returns -t mandatory) and nothing. TOP shows an updatedb running wild and I'm not near box. any tips? |

I was going to tell you to try telinit 1, but I know first-hand how unwise that is over a long-distance connection! (Go ahead, ask me how I know...  ) There has to be a way to kill off the offending process and get the shutdown command to work.
I'm sure someone with actual Linux knowledge will be along to give you advice soon! |

Did you try a good ol' fashioned kill -9 <pid> on the updatedb? killall doesn't seem to want to force the issue on misbehaving processes. |

I'm guessing he did it and lost all connection with the box immediately. Runlevel 1 is "single user mode" and takes down all networking and the graphical interface. It doesn't reboot, but simply waits for you to log in at the console. Result, if you do it remotely, is that you lose all connectivity until someone physically accesses the box to reboot or change the runlevel. Mike |

By-the-by, I had to do a hard reset at the push button... |

Yep. Like manicmike said. Don't do that! It hurts when you do that...
