Yes indeed. But it’s the sysadmin who decides to reset after those "15 or 30" secs. And that makes a difference. And mind you, it is not the common case that a standalone server with maybe a few VMs and a moderate workload needs those 10 minutes quoted here for shutdown. It is the exception and an urgent reason to take a serious look not at the 10 mins but at the server. For desktops, it's probably a different tradeoff. -- Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy p...@fedoraproject.org Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora docs team contributor Java developer and enthusiast _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
