You missed the man page and the definition of the -t flag: -t sec Tell init(8) to wait sec seconds between sending processes the warning and the kill signal, before changing to another run- level. You can't specify a 10 second wait before shutdown. If you want to shutdown in less than 1 minute, use "now" as the time. -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
