Not completely, but as the shutdown command from systemd-sysv uses "wall" to warn users before a shutdown, this can yield data loss. So this is really a major bug. For instance, with "shutdown -r +3 wall-message" (using an up-to-date system, with systemd 257~rc2-3 and the 6.11.9-amd64 kernel), the shutdown occurs after 3 minutes without any message in the terminals. > > "wall" does not work at all, even when run as root: the message > > is not output in any of the terminals. > > Cannot reproduce. Works just fine here. It occurs on *all* of my Debian/unstable machines, and the terminal doesn't matter (no messages in either xterm, rxvt or GNOME Terminal). I'll try to get debug information. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
