RHEL 7 - Shutdown/Reboot over SSH Hangs
This isn't a major issue, but rather a small inconvenience. When I am SSH'ed into a system and I initiate a shutdown -h now the shell just hangs. The system shuts down like expected, it just doesn't handle the SSH session gracefully. I believe it times out somewhere around 10 minutes. In previous versions of RHEL, you would see a wall broadcast and the SSH session would be terminated before it fully shutsdown. It seems to terminate the pipe quicker while running a reboot vs. a shutdown. Can anyone confirm they are seeing similar behavior with their RHEL 7 installations? Or is this a "me" issue?

Hi,
I am facing the same issue and I also don't like it when there is no feedback like
in older versions of RHEL. It's confusing when there is no reponse; first time I thought the server was frozen while rebooting. Would be nice if Redhat would change the behaviour.
