Clean shutdown of Linux from Windows? #5661
Comments

I read some of those posts myself, the last one specifically, but the terminate command is not much different from shutdown, in terms of giving systemctl any notice. I started up the samba daemon, did Compare that to There is a whole lot of user-level jobs that is left out by letting WSL shut it down, I think the big red power switch applies to all of its commands. I know my question about Windows shutdown scripts is a bit off-topic, but the MS forums can get a bit dizzying. If someone knows how to automate the command poweroff at Windows shutdown that would be a good solution. |

@psisis Just a quick note - I saw this issue and added shutdown support (using (Disclaimer: It is not, principally for mount reasons, perfectly idempotent, and so I wouldn't recommend starting a new genie bottle (or indeed, carrying on using Linux) without terminating and restarting the distro in question first.) |
I seem to have issues with initiating a clean shutdown of the WSL system without needing to issue it from within. For example, I run the genie program that emulates systemd. I have services that mount certain filesystems and I want to unmount them cleanly before shutdown. The command
wsl.exe --shutdowndoes not give Linux time to stop services, in journalctl it looks like the worst kind of shutdown, it just gets blank. From cmd I can dowsl.exe sudo systemctl stop srv&&wsl.exe sudo systemctl poweroffbut I’m trying to automate this behavior. I have tried a Windows shutdown script by policies, where I enter the commands above along with a timeout of 3s, but it does not work. How do I even know if the script is executed? Event viewer does not give me clues, and I have enabled verbose status messages. Is there no native WSL support for clean shutdowns?
