Hi, "shutdown --halt now" stops the container as does "shutdown now" If I omit the now part and just do shutdown --halt I get: root@D-wan-61-1:~# shutdown --halt Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down. Failed to call ScheduleShutdown in logind, proceeding with immediate shutdown: Refusing activation, D-Bus is shutting down and I get a prompt again Just running shutdowngives the same message.
