"shutdown -h now" should power off, but it just only the machine. OpenRC mimics System V init system in this case, so System V init system interfaces documentation define how things must work. According to shutdown(8) man page from sys-apps/sysvinit, `/sbin/shutdown -h ...` means "Equivalent to -P, unless -H is specified". And the option `-P` means "Action is to turn off the power". So acpid invokes a command which means powering off. So if openrc-provided shutdown tool doesn't power off the machine, it's the fault of openrc-provided shutdown tool. The following statements have been confirmed. * Commands "/sbin/shutdown -P now", "/lib/rc/bin/shutdown -P now" do turn off the power. * Manually patching "h) shutdown_arg=--halt ;;" to "h) shutdown_arg=--poweroff ;;" in /lib/rc/bin/shutdown makes "shutdown -h now" to power machine off as expected. Originally reported in https://bugs.gentoo.org/726092 . Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install openrc[sysv-utils] 2. "shutdown -h now" Actual Results: system halted Expected Results: system powered off
Seems to be addressed by williamh in https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/commit/38aaba28ee86602e29d8a31f155dfa72f5481e68 Huge thanks! Please mark this bug resolved when you feel appropriate - I don't know for sure, maybe you mean to do something else with this before closing.
OpenRC 0.43 is out with the fix.
