SuSE Linux: Version 5.2, 1st Edition
shutdown -h now
)
the following error message appears :
wall: /dev/ttyXXX: I/O error
wall
writes to all ttys (terminals), that are listet in the file utmp
.
However old versions of xterm
don't remove their entries from this file.
As a consequence, it is being tried to write to a tty during shutdown, that isn't used
anymore. The result is the above message.
Also every terminal, that wasn't erased from utmp
by some other program, will cause
the same error message.
xterm
. New versions of this program sign off completely.
A new version is available in the package xf86
under the URL
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/S.u.S.E.-5.2/x1/xf86.rpm
If another program caused this error message, you should also get an update for it.
Please note, that this error message is uncritical, so it can also be ignored (not nice !) .
Have fun !
