G'day All,

This may be a stupid question, but is there another  way to kill a
running shutdown ?

Following a system crash, something seems to have gone awry.  Now,
when I run my Slackware 3.0 system and try to shut it down nicely, I
get "Shutdown already running ". 

I have tried "shutdown -c", as given in the options for shutdown, but
it doesn't work.  The 3 finger salute (Ctrl-Alt-Del) also gives the
same message.  "Halt" is the same.

If I just turn it off , it has to check itself and "parallelize" for a
few mins or so before it boots up.  I'm sure repeated shutting down in
this nasty manner won't do it any good.

I can't  find a PID to kill or anything.

Any ideas ?

Please also e-mail response, as newsgroup access fluctuates.
