How to shutdown bubba from a remote machine?

[wm.bubba]

I have been able to shutdown my bubba from my PC, by using the following command: ssh -n 192.168.1.3 'sudo shutdown -hP now'

I have created the private/public key pair to allow me to run the above command without entering a password, and also installed sudo and given myself access to the shutdown command.
bubba does shutdown, except the led keeps flashing and never goes out. I believe this means bubba has shutdown, but not powered off.

This must be possible as I can do this from the admin web page using the "Power Down" button. I just cannot find the command it is using to do this.
Can anyone help?

Hi wm.bubba,

The reason that this does not work is that we do some things out of the ordinary here. Instead of a complete shutdown, what we do is that we do a reboot with a special message to the boot loader. That when it intercepts this during reboot it shuts down a lot of peripherals and then wait for a key press to start everything up again.

You can either issue the command, as root:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/web-admin/backend.pl power_off

Or if you are curios on how its done do it manually by issuing the two commands:

Code: Select all

echo -e "3735928559">/sys/devices/platform/bubbatwo/magic
reboot

I hope this helps.

That's brilliant - works perfectly.
