I think I've seen this also.. What I do is to ssh as root into the
box, then manually start bash as the shell. If I do 'shutdown -Fr'
from within bash, the shutdown doesn't complete. If I exit bash, and
start the shutdown from roots default korn shell, the shutdown works
fine.

So, my guess has been that shutdown kills bash and that that somehow
blocks/signals shutdown.

Maybe your problem is something similar?


BTW: AIX 5.2 ml1 and AIX 5.1 ml5.
