Unable to shutdown (with shutdown command, not power button)

I was unable to shutdown with
Code: [Select]
shutdown now
. Nothing happens after a while when it attempted to shutdown (The system isn't freezed or anything, prompt still works)

I cycled through my tty and tty7 still responding, although it told me that the system is shutting down.

I managed to dump some logs with dmesg:
pastebin here

and shutdown just tells me this:
Code: [Select]
runsvchdir: single: current.
Seems like normal stuff.


Anyone has clues?

and I just noticed dmesg doesn't help that much, here is a photo of tty0
You shouldn't listen to my advice anyways

Does runit even have shutdown command like this? I thought it can only work via poweroff or runit-init 0

interesting... Now I will need to find where the heck this executable comes from.

It was installed with runit.

After some investigation, I suspect that runit isn't exiting stage 3 properly. Maybe one of the service file is to blamed.

Both these work too.

sudo halt
sudo reboot
antiX-19 i3 runit & ArtiX-i3 runit

Not sure if necro-bumbing is allowed, but this is an issue for me as well.  Question:  Why isn't the contents of /usr/bin/shutdown installed by runit a file containing simply: 

Code: [Select]
#! /bin/sh
runit-init 0

I had that as the contents of my shutdown executable for a while but the next time  runit updated via pacman -Syu it reverted to the broken non-system-shutdowning monstrosity.

Any chance this can be the default behavior of runit's shutdown file?

Thanks

Unfortunately, no. Since the sysvinit days, shutdown without option will bring us to a single-user login, and I think Artix should keep it consistent.

From Debian manpage for sysvinit:

runlevel 1 is used to put to system into a state where administrative tasks can be performed; this is the default if neither the -h or -r flag is given to shutdown.
now only the dinit guy in artix

You can make your personal default though:
man pacman.conf
       NoUpgrade = file ...
           All files listed with a NoUpgrade directive will never be touched during a package install/upgrade, and the new files will be installed with a .pacnew extension.
           These files refer to files in the package archive, so do not include the leading slash (the RootDir) when specifying them. Shell-style glob patterns are allowed.
           It is possible to invert matches by prepending a file with an exclamation mark. Inverted files will result in previously blacklisted files being whitelisted
           again. Subsequent matches will override previous ones. A leading literal exclamation mark or backslash needs to be escaped.

e.g. in /etc/pacman.conf (remember no / prefix )
NoUpgrade   = etc/path/to/file
