Hi, Carl, thanks. In my case any of these commands, when on battery, brings the computer to an unresponsive state -- I wish it would reboot! Anyway, as I say, I was hoping that a difference of behaviour between A/C and battery would be indicative of malfunction in some particular piece of software... Maybe if you end up looking into your user's system you'll be kind enough to let me know what you find? Thanks again, Manolo
Hello, I'm a board master of "GNULinux" board on my school BBS. Today one guy reported a similar issue, but he's using Ubuntu 11.04. He said when he runs `poweroff`, `init 0`, or `shutdown -h now` with only battery on, after some normal steps, it shows "will now halt" on the terminal, and the system reboots.
Hope it'll help.
