shutdown -c

[anengelsen]

Does anyone know why the following command does not work while interacting with the pfSense shell environment?

shutdown -c

This command should allow me to cancel a shutdown command. Instead, I am getting the following output

[2.5.2-RELEASE][admin@IPHERE]/root: shutdown -c
usage: shutdown [-] [-c | -h | -p | -r | -k] [-o [-n]] time [warning-message ...]
       poweroff

@anengelsen So, it didn't power off? It takes a few seconds to start shutting down services before actually powering off. Had you tried 6 at the FreeBSD cli?

Hello!

The Freebsd shutdown options might be different from those in other unix/linux flavors.

@anengelsen said in shutdown -c:

shutdown -c

Is an incomplete command.

Look here :

@serbus said in shutdown -c:

shutdown

The time option is not optional.

 time    Time is the time at which shutdown	will bring the system down and
     may be the	case-insensitive word now (indicating an immediate
     shutdown)

This might work :

shutdown -c now

I didn't try it ;)
