How to disable "acpi poweroff" in shutdown script?

[Petr Fischer]

Hi, please, how to easily and systemically disable acpi poweroff
switching when calling "shutdown" in Fedora Core? (I need only "halt
state" after shutdown - for UPS workflow). Understand?

Thanks! pf

[Petr Fischer]

Ehm, is this possible? thanks...

Are you looking for the behavior of the command "shutdown -h" ?  From
the man page:

-h     Halt after shutdown.

This is as opposed to:

-r     Reboot after shutdown.

If he is doing shutdown -h "now" it will powerdown the computer. All my
computers does doing that with acpi.
Maybe Petr should turn off acpi in the bios? or start the box with a kernel
option?

Thanks, I will try disable acpi with acpi=off on my server (I dislike
this option on normal computers [notebooks, workstations]).
Is there any other way?

Please note that this may enable APM, which can *still* turn your
computer off. You may need to add apm=off to the kernel parameters.

(Contra-indications: APM does not work with hyperthreaded or
multiple-core processors, or on SMP machines. I understand that some
modern PCs no longer have APM support in BIOS, since all supported
versions of Windows prefer the ACPI support.

Hope this helps,

James.

shutdown -h -> this command call "acpi power off" on my server

open the /etc/init.d/halt file and make an adjustment

This line is somewhere around the end of the file.
    [ -f /poweroff -o ! -f /halt ] && HALTARGS="$HALTARGS -p"

If you remove the -p from the arguments at the end of the line, i think 
it will accomplish what you want.  In the end it should look like this
    [ -f /poweroff -o ! -f /halt ] && HALTARGS="$HALTARGS"

This should help without BIOS modifications...
