I run a custom daemon to gather entropy, and it sleeps most of the time. If I don't kill -9 it before I shut down, it is sleeping, and I get the behavior you describe (it doesn't catch the kill signal, presumably -15, that systemd sends). When I researched the issue, I got as far as finding that there is a timer that can be set that defaults to 1 minute 30 seconds. I'm sure it is in the documentation where this timer is configured, but I never got that far. Setting it to a lower number for this, and other things, would reduce your aggravation. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
