Dirty shutdown "shutdown -u"

Hi,


For some reason, dirty shutdown is no longer working for me under 10.12 beta


I have a script running that switches of my Mac Pro 5,1 at midnight every day. Since I travel a lot, I can remotely switch on my Mac Pro with an remotely controlled power plug switch off/switch on. Works like charm - until now.


Looks like something has changed with 10.12...


Anybody has an idea? Is it still working for you?


Steps to reproduce:


1) shutdown via terminal "shutdown -u now"

2) wait until shutdown and a few minutes

3) unplug the power plug and replug. Computer should start.


Please note: if you do a regular shutdown, and then unplug and re-plug, computer will not start.

shutdown -u -h now


Anybody has an idea? Definitely not working on my machine.


Where to escalate to?

I know this is 7 years ago but I've just discovered this on macOS 14.0 with a Mac Studio.

shutdown -h -u

...simply does not work. It powers off the macOS immediately.

This makes it really hard to work as a NUT client.
