      Hello there, is there any way I could shutdown after an image deployment instead of reboot?

      I have checked the “Schedule with shutdown” option via the Web interface - didn’t seem like it worked.
      Also, I tried the shutdown=1 under FOG General setting> KERNEL ARGS. Didn’t seem to work either. Not sure if I’m missing something out.

      Also, kindly pardon my lack of technical knowledge!

      Additional Information:

      • I’m booting via USB (Unable to use PXE booting due to limitation set by admin)
      • FOG 1.5.9
      • I tried shutting down via Web Interface after the OS loads. It worked. However, what I need is to shutdown immediately after deployment without the loading OS. Not sure if this is possible.

      Thank you in advance 😄

        This is where the problem is. Using the USB booting, its getting the kernel parameters from the grub config and not iPXE (because iPXE isn’t being used). What you need to use is edit the grub.cfg file and add shutdown=1 at the end of the kernel parameters for menu item 1.

        As below:

        menuentry "1. FOG Image Deploy/Capture" {
         echo loading the kernel
         linux  $myimage loglevel=$myloglevel initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=275000 keymap= web=$myfogip/fog/ boottype=usb consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4 shutdown=1
         echo loading the virtual hard drive
         initrd $myinits
         echo booting kernel...
        }
        

        Understand this will tell the kernel to shut down after any imaging task.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
