[OpenIndiana-discuss] Taking a long time to shut down

2011-04-03 Thread Matt Connolly
I've done a few reboot tests recently, and I'm seeing that my Open Indiana install is taking a very long time to shutdown. After the X window system packs up, I seen on the screen a message, such as: svc.startd: 119 system services are now being stopped. 20 minutes later, the machine is still r
