NO LOGINS: System going down ... stuck and won't shutdown I issued a remote SSH shutdown command to a headless Mac server. However, the server is not shutting down and I can no longer access the server with SSH, I get this message:


  NO LOGINS: System going down at 08:16


This was nearly 20 minutes ago. What can I do now that the machine won't shut down and I cannot login?

I realize I can push the power button, but I have some Drobos attached that could loose data if don't gracefully shut down.
Go to Finder. In the menu bar click Go, select Go to folder, type /etc/ and press Enter. In the opened window find the "nologin" file and delete it. It's fixed.
