Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know why i experience this once in a while? 
I am running Fedora Rawhide

[noble@noblecontracts ~]$ su
Password:
[root@noblecontracts noble]# reboot
[root@noblecontracts noble]# poweroff
[root@noblecontracts noble]#

The commands don't seem to have any effect.  Why?

and systemctl reboot ? and systemctl poweroff ?

BTW even in Centos 7, I noticed or I have the imprecision that systemctl commands works better , but now reboot is a symbol link to 
bin/systemctl ....
