Custom Shutdown Halt Notice

DaveCode · 2013-05-25 08:00:48

On shutdown I'd like a console notice other than "System halted." Is there any way shy of recompiling the kernel or systemd?

Thanks!

It's the same result after?

systemctl shutdown

OR

# systemctl shutdown

poweroff usually behaves better than shutdown

While systemctl poweroff is used commands are not the issue. This PC avoids software power management, being "always on" in theory. Shutdowns are rare.

Shutdown leaves "System halted" on the last line. After that a manual power switch is needful. Where is this string, "System halted" defined?

Thanks!

~/src/linux-stable $ grep 'System halted' -r .
kernel/sys.c:   printk(KERN_EMERG "System halted.\n");

Have fun recompiling the kernel
