Description Dave Stewart 2012-06-08 21:45:44 UTC
Every time I run the build appliance, I feel compelled to shut it down cleanly, but there is no obvious way to do it in Hob, and there should be.

So I click the X in the upper right corner to exit Hob, then I select the terminal which is running as root, and type "shutdown -h now". Sometimes this works, but other times (like after I have run a build) it seems to hang. Could it be an issue with the Linux we self-host that doesn't shut down cleanly if you use a lot of memory?

Anyway, we should address this question of shutting down the build appliance cleanly and document it. Let me know if I should submit a big against the run time as well.

This may require 2 additional bugs, one for documentation and possibly one for HOB to include a shutdown button (only for build-appliance!)
