Servers autorestarting [message #42559]

Any idea why this would happen?

I shut down a server, but if I don't disable it, it starts back up within a few seconds. It is becoming a pain for me. It doesn't look like any cronjob are installed for openvz and my servers never used to do this.

Thanks.

I don't know what might be the cause but you could at least be a little more specific. OS, kernel, tools version, etc? Do you shut down from the HN or within the VM? What specific commands you use when this happens?

Newer kernels/tools do not use cron jobs to restart VMs anymore, they use a kernel module and a daemon.

vzctl version 3.0.26.2
2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.5
CentOS 5.5 x86_64

vzctl stop VEID is what I use, I also tried poweroff, reboot in the VE itself but it reacts the same way.
