Linux base device not getting shutdown

I try to shutdown my embedded system running with Linux environment using shutdown -h now. But it is rebooting my system again. So can anyone give me suggestion how to shutdown my system or resolve this issue.

Or any possible reason of this issue?

Linux version is 2.37

Solution

  • Answer to your question is 

    shutdown -P now

    Jaybee is near correct, where p should be upper case.
