Reduce the timeout of exactly what/where? This happens with the openSUSEes and the Debians. Continuous Ctrl-Alt-Delete should force immediate response, but not unusually it makes the situation worse, freezing after 90 seconds instead of the expectation, necessitating power or reset button. > Not sure what exact command you're running, but do also add a halt flag if > it's available. > "option to halt services before rebooting.
