"kexec -e" does not end up calling the shutdown program, instead
shutdown routine in the kernel is called directly. So there are no
options being passed to shutdown(8).
I assume this bug is resolved at this point. Please confirm. I will mark
this bug resolved in three days if I do not hear back.
Thanks
Hi, I re-read the manual page for kexec from:
kexec-tools 1:2.0.2-1
OPTIONS
-e (--exec)
Run the currently loaded kernel. Note that it calls
shutdown (8)
and then the manual page for shutdown (8):
DESCRIPTION
shutdown brings the system down in a secure way. All
logged-in users
are notified that the system is going down, and login(1) is
blocked.
I logged in remotely to this pc, became root then ran:
/etc/init.d/kexec-load stop
to load a kernel, then
kexec -e
I was not given the normal shutdown warning message and the pc rebooted
immediately.
It appears that the manual page for kexec is incorrect about the
behaviour of "kexec -e".
Regards,
Arthur.
