[Bug 871860] [NEW] "shutdown 0" should not be accepted

[James Hunt]

Public bug reported:

As noticed by Michael Nelson on bug 871850, "shutdown 0" fails.

Problem appears to be shutdown not checking its args as "shutdown 0" is
not a valid invocation - you need to specify and option as well as a
time spec. What actually happened:

    :
    :
* Killing all remaining processes... [fail]
* Will now switch to single-user mode
root at michael-desktop:~#

** Affects: upstart

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)

         Status: Confirmed

** Also affects: upstart
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: upstart
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
