[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#712953: sysvinit: System Restarts Instead of Powering Off

[Alan Chandler]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I attempt to power off the machine (either logging out of gnome3, or via shutdown now typed in at a terminal)
the system goes through the shutdown sequence (it does seem to pause after telling all processes to terminate and
then reports that some processes are still running). It finally reports it is about to power off.

But the computer then restarts and reboots.

If I load up Debian Wheezy and shut that down, the computer powers off properly.
