halt shutdown on mx-one server

[reimm]

Hi to all,
Can anyone know how to cancel halt shutdown of servers...@ su: command shutdown -h now,,,how to cancel this command.

Thanks in advance.

If it is likely you need to cancel it, why do shutdown -h now and not put a time in it like shutdown -h 10 which will give you 10 minutes to change your mind and cancel it with shutdown -c.

There is some suggestion on various Linux forums that typing init 2 quickly enough will cancel a shutdown, but I have not tried this.

Hi himdp,
Thanks for the quick response.is it on start up of the server will i command init 2?

 

[himdp]

No, init 2 will supposedly stop the server shutdown if entered quickly enough after an unwanted shutdown -r now.
I only read this on a forum so cannot verify if it works. Give it a try and see.

If the server had been stopped already and shutdown...what other else can be done?thanks

My target is to start the server automatically from the latest data_backup made. Like starting it when command @ root: shutdown -now is initiated.

 

[himdp]

If you want to run the system from the last data_backup, why do you not just do a data_restore?
If you need to restart the server do shutdown -r now. Incidentally, there is an alias for shutdown -h now which is halt and an alias for shutdown -r now which is restart.

Thanks for the reply.
What will happen after boot after shutdown of servers by the command shutdown -h now @ su?
Thanks!

 

[himdp]

Well, if you have TSE correctly installed, the system should start with TSE running with the data from the latest backup. I don't really see what you are wanting from this? Are your questions merely academic or are you trying to do something practical here?
