Re^4: Net-SSH-Expect & Fedora-18

Thanks for your reply. Yes shutdown with -r option works

However, looks like on Fedora-18, there is no option to configure the time in seconds.

If i try shutdown -t 10 -r, it still reboots after the default time interval of 10secs as specified in shutdown man page.

Do you have any recommendations on how to configure the shutdown time in seconds ?

I'm surprised to hear that. I've used several Linux distros over the years. `-t` has always been the way to specify a delay for the shutdown command. See http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_shutdow.htm	[reply] [d/l]

Hi Thanks. Below is the message i get after issues the shutdown command. `shutdown -t 5 -r` Broadcast message from ---- (Wed 2014-07-02 15:11:32 PDT): The system is going down for reboot at Wed 2014-07-02 15:12:33 PDT As you see, there is a default delay of 1min added before shutdown is initiated & this stays same no matter what -t option we specify.

Apparently, the -t option gets silently ignored. After some searching, what little I found specific to Fedora 18, there was no mention of the -t option, though some of the examples were `shutdown -r now`. But you seem to need a delay, so this might not be useful to you.	[reply] [d/l]
