I have a NCR 4300 server with Unix and i have the problem with the reboot and the shutdown y think one proccess is the problem but i don�t now which one is? when i write "ps -A" i detect the idleproc with value of 9550:00. Which command can i use for verify my problem.
Thanks
Carlos Rodr�guez.
how are you trying to shut down the system? what commands?
shutdown -h now?
or init 0?
uadmin 2 0
or
uadmin 0 2
I can't remember the right one. One is failing the other one not 
Hope you have this command for your OS, Sun at least works ok.
Regs David
shutdown -i0 -g0 -y in the schedule task every day, and i init 0 in then prompt, and does not work, i think one proccess is bloqued.
thaks
Did this ever work? When did it stop working? What is the date on /etc/inittab? What lines do you get from the command:
grep ":0:" /etc/inittab
Also you seem to be able to run commands when it blocks. Run "ps -ef" and "who -r" and post the results of both commands.
Result:
r0:0:wait:/sbin/rc0 off 1> /dev/sysmsg 2>&1 </dev/console
sd:0:wait:/sbin/chk_shutdown 0 >/dev/sysmsg 2>&1 </dev/console
c0:0:respawn:/sbin/vtgetty vt00 9600NP
Thanks

I don't see evidence of a shutdown procedure running at all. Nothing is hung, no shutdown procedure is running. Do a "which init" and a "which shutdown". That had better come back with "/sbin/init" or you have screwed up root's PATH.
When you have the path to shutdown, do a "file /usr/bin/shutdown" to see if it's a shell scipt. If it's a shell script, look at it to see if the last thing it does is "/sbin/init 0" or just "init 0".
If you're sure that you are running the real /sbin/init when you try to shutdown, the next thing to look at is the shutdown scripts. Your inittab says that "/sbin/rc0 off" will be the first thing to run. do a "ls -lu /sbin/rc0" to see when the last time was that /sbin/rc0 was read. A shell must read a script to run it. Was it read at about the time you tried a shutdown? When was it last modified?
/ ls -lu /sbin/rc0
-rwxr--r-- 1 root sys 25509 Nov 29 17:31 /sbin/rc0
If that persists after you type
/sbin/init 0
I must guess that your /sbin/init has been corrupted or something... What does
ls -l /sbin/init
say?
Anyway /sbin/init 0 is supposed to to run the "0" entries in /etc/iniitab in the order in which they appear. Scan inittab to be sure that there aren't any other zero entries. If the second field has a zero, it will be selected. Something like
xxx:0123456:<more fields>
/ ls -l /sbin/init

Well, I'm running out of ideas. The output from your "who" command shows that init has not yet stored the new run state in utmp. It needs to do that before it can run the commands from inittab.
That contty could stall this process, but it's not in your ps listing.
Your version of init may be trying to a "init state changed to" messages on the system console. You might check that it is not locked up somehow.
