Public bug reported: Binary package hint: upstart
When remotely shutting down a machine, it's useful to delay the shutdown so that you can be sure the command executed cleanly, even if your SSH connection is terminated. Therefore a short delay period (e.g. 10 seconds) is useful. upstart's shutdown command does not support this, because it only supports delays specified in minutes or absolute times, whereas I believe previous shutdown commands had per-second resolution through the -t argument. ** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/739947 Title: No way to specify a shutdown delay of less than one minute -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
