[Help] Trouble shutting down a linux machine (sopuli.xyz)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/linux

I am having issues with my linux machine running openSUSE MicroOS. It runs fine but I can't power it off via SSH. I tried shutdown, poweroff and halt but no command turned the machine off. I then have to physically push the power button but I don't feel comfortable doing that too often because I might interrupt some processes which are still running? Is there something I could still try or something I did wrong?

This might sound stupid but before logging into SSH, open XTERM first and give the commands through it. On the other hand, be sure that the user you logged into it has sudo privileges on your MicroOS machine.
