Two panel meme.
Top panel: Woman in the front seat of a car screaming at a child in the rear seat. She’s saying “Why can’t you just shutdown?”
Bottom panel: A child screaming “A stop job is running for Session c2 of user … (1:30 / no limit)”


how do you bypass it? didn’t know its a thing
If you hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete 7 times in 2 seconds it will skip immediately
Unless the culprit is that one process permanently stuck in uninterruptible disk sleep, in which case the timer would just perpetually go up, and pressing 7x Ctrl-Alt-Del as you mentioned will simply shut down systemd and the kernel itself will start complaining (faulty hardware can cause this)
I can’t tell if you’re fucking with us or not. 😒
Hard power off dont care, and neither do modern filesystems.
databases may still care
If they cared they should have finished sooner
sometimes it’s not that easy
Fair
You can do systemctl edit <unit>. There you can override all options without changing the main unit file.
oh, I thought you mean skipping the timeout that one time
For reboots pressing ctrl+alt+del at least 7 times will force a reboot
