February 10, 201412 yr But use the new 2.01 version. Where is it? Please update the op if you add a new version. *edit* this is the link: https://github.com/dlandon/unraid-snap/raw/master/powerdown-2.01-noarch-unRAID.tgz I can not save it from the github page?
February 10, 201412 yr Testing 2.01: After creating the archVM, and having a k00.sh script in place with 'xl shutdown -a' i enter the powerdown command. The script hangs after the message: INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0 INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal Running shutdown script /etc/rc.d/rc.0: Saving system time to the hardware clock (UTC). Stopping XEN domains: /etc/rc.d/rc.xendomains Shutting down Xen domains: archVM(save)....../etc/rc.d/rc.0: line 59: 2392 Killed /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown stop INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel And then nothing... no reboot or actual powerdown.

System hangs with the above text still on screen. Can not connect anymore, no webgui. Need to do a hard reset which is not a good thing It does not look like powerdown ran. There are no messages from powerdown. The first message you should see is "Powerdown initiated". Can you get a syslog? Send a syslog of your system once it boots before you powerdown. Run the system without plugins (except for powerdown), stop the array in the webgui, and then run powerdown. Verify you see the "Powerdown initiated" message and a version number. If you don't, post a syslog.
February 10, 201412 yr Author There is a new version (2.02) of powerdown that handles your custom scripts. Powerdown creates a directory on the flash drive (/boot/config/plugins/powerdown/custom/) where you can put your Kxx scripts. Powerdown will manage them from there. This way you don't have to add any entries in your 'go' file.
February 10, 201412 yr 2.01 was installed. If i do NOT start a VM and run powerdown, it powers down correctly and i do see a message from powerdown 2.01... btw, the script does NOT say 'powerdown initiated'. It never does. There is 2 beeps, an empty prompt, and then some logging, about 10 lines, and after that it says 'powerdown 2.01' and the logging and shutdown continues. last part of syslog. (the array was not started, so no vm as well) ... Feb 10 05:42:25 Tower rc.unRAID[1596][1597]: Powerdown V2.01 Feb 10 05:42:25 Tower rc.unRAID[1596][1598]: Stopping Plugins.

February 10, 201412 yr After rebooting, starting the array, installpkg the powerdown 2.01, creating the vm, checking if all runs, and entering powerdown, NOTHING happens. Powerdown returns to the cmd line. No response on remote sessions, no webgui. Once i removed the usb key so i could get the logging (i had no respons and no connection, system seems to hang), the machine suddenly continues shutting down... There's not more i can do, this test laptop i'm using for unraid 6 is going to be reinstalled with win7/64 tomorrow. I hope you or Limetech come up with a solid solution for powering down an unraid 6 server with al it's running vm's in an orderly fashion, initiated by user or a UPS due to power outage. Until then, i keep far away from unraid 6 if you don't mind syslog.zip

While I appreciate your frustration, both unRAID v6 and powerdown are Beta. This means that there will be issues to sort out. If you are not prepared to deal with any issues, you should wait until it is all sorted out.
February 10, 201412 yr Oh, i know its beta and all, and i hope my test efforts are of some use. I just dont have a machine available for testing anymore, this was the last i could do today. I appreciate your efforts, but I do hope Limetech also comes up with some integrated powerdown support including vm's for the final version.

February 10, 201412 yr Author Version 2.02 of powerdown is available. A directory on the flash drive is now available for your custom shutdown scripts. The directory is /boot/config/plugins/powerdown/custom/. Place any script files you want processed at the beginning of powerdown. The files should be named Kxx - where xx is 00-99. For those of you running VMs, you will need to provide a custom script so powerdown can shut them down before unRAID tries to stop Xen. I know you'd rather just have powerdown do that, but powerdown is being kept generic for both v5 and v6 (plain vanilla, and Xen). Because each user has unique needs, this is the best way to handle the situation.
February 10, 201412 yr Author Isn't the kxx file not the place for custom scripts to shut down vm's then? It is the right place. This is just more convenient than having to do a copy in your 'go' file. Put these on the flash drive in the /boot/config/powerdown/custom/ directory and powerdown will take care of putting them in the /etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID.d/ directory for you.
February 10, 201412 yr Ok. Had some spare time, tried 2.02, but no effect. The k00 works if i call it myself from /boot/plugins/powerdown/custom, but it doesnt seem to be called or working from inside the script. Same effect as with 2.01, enter the powerdown command, 2 beeps, cursor returns and nothing happens... and the syslog shows it has been run. Weird. If i use the 1.04 version of powerdown it all works fine. First i manually stop the vm's by calling the k00 script or 'xl shutdown -a', the vm stops. I enter 'powerdown', 2 beeps, and the system shuts down nicely... perfect.

February 10, 201412 yr Author Version 2.03 is now available. Fixed a potential problem where the wrong powerdown would be executed. unRAID supplies a default powerdown that stops the array and then powers off. This gets around this powerdown package and unRAID could potentially hang.. If you are using the apcupsd plugin, remove the following lines: #Finish Clean Powerdown Install [ -f /usr/local/sbin/powerdown ] && mv /usr/local/sbin/powerdown /usr/local/sbin/unraid_powerdown [ -f /usr/local/sbin/unraid_powerdown ] && sed -i "sX/usr/local/sbin/powerdownX/sbin/powerdownX" /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh [ ! -f /usr/local/sbin/unraid_powerdown ] && sed -i "sX/sbin/init 0X/sbin/powerdownX" /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh sysctl -w kernel.poweroff_cmd=/sbin/powerdown These lines don't cause powerdown to not work properly, but powerdown takes care of this on its own.

What I do see in the log is an older powerdown running. Reboot your system and send me the syslog without trying to shutdown.
February 10, 201412 yr It just doesnt show up in syslog? The console says powerdown 2.03 as you can see, after i enter 'powerdown'. i install the 2.03 after each reboot by hand, using installpkg powerdown-2.03.etc.etc.etc from the packages folder. *edit* for some reason the /flash/logs folder is empty and stays empty after rebooting... no more syslogs? Is there another place where those are stored?

Is there another place where those are stored? Powerdown is in multiple pieces and it appears you have some of the new and some of the old. The version I see in the log is the one that was causing this hang up. I don't think the package install was successful. It's best to use the plugin to do it for you. The reason you are not getting logs is that powerdown is hanging just before the syslog is saved. Lets do this: Clear your system temporarily of all plugins and packages. - make a backup of your flash. - Delete plugin files in /boot/plugins - Delete plugin files in /boot/config/plugins - Delete any files in /boot/packahes - Delete any files in /boot/extra - Put the attached powerdown plugin in /boot/config/plugins - Reboot. - Check your log for the following: +============================================================================== Feb 10 12:09:54 MediaServer logger: | Installing new package /boot/packages/powerdown-2.03-noarch-unRAID.tgz Feb 10 12:09:54 MediaServer logger: +============================================================================== Feb 10 12:09:54 MediaServer logger: Feb 10 12:09:54 MediaServer logger: Verifying package powerdown-2.03-noarch-unRAID.tgz.

February 10, 201412 yr After re-booting and starting the vm, and after entering powerdown, powerdown hangs again. The vm is stopped so powerdown is running my k00 script (which contains xl shutdown -a). System hangs with: INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel. See samples i gave before. Must give hard reset. I give up. I'll see if it created a syslog.
February 10, 201412 yr Author I've downloaded the 2.03 powerdown by hand and rebooted. This time the startup sequence installed it, see syslog. (I've copied this syslog from the webgui) Eccellent! Now you can see that the powerdown package is installed. Move on to the next steps, and see if anything you add back in causes a problem. If you add in the apcupsd plugin, you will have to make a change to the apcups plugin and remove the powerdown plugin. You can leave the powerdown package in the /packages directory. I would leave apcupsd out for the time being. The best way to test powerdown and minimize issues if it gets hung, is to stop the array first with the webgui. That way the array is stopped and having to push the power button shouldn't be a problem. Let me see the syslog from the flash /logs after you power down. Attach the one in the zipped directory. That will be the last one saved. You're getting there!
