Thanks for the link but I am pretty sure they are talking about a different
problem. The link you provided is among the 100+ search result I found on
google that does not address my problem.
99.9% of the problems listed on google is about the machine failing to
respond or reboot AFTER closed most services. In other words, the machine is
put to an unresponsive status, OR the reboot skipped POST. Both are not my
case, hence I addressed "reboot does NOTHING" in the email subject. The
difficulty of this problem is that it is too hard to filter out unrelated
help messages
In my case reboot/halt/shutdown did not attempt to turn off any running
system services. The reboot process is not even started. None of the
processes are notified to terminate and none of the filesystems are
umounted. The machine has same number of processes before and after issued
reboot command.
