[Help] Trouble shutting down a linux machine (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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?

@doomsdayrs @theorangeninja Not entirely correct, most will have shutdown scripts that call systemd, but that is a direct way to accomplish it.
