Slower shutdown issue

Post by waikun »

I've experienced another problem though (might not be Mavericks-related):
MFC seriously impacts the shutdown time - by about 10 seconds.
With the exact same programs running (Safari, Activity Monitor, F.lux, DeskConnect, Messages, Preview, VLC etc.), without MFC it takes ~2-4 seconds until the screen is black and the computer is shut down.

With MFC running, it takes more than 20 seconds and the spinner appears!

Do you purposely prolong the shutdown for some reason or is this a bug?

PS: By the way, I have run the following terminal commands to fix the inherently slow shutdown times in 10.8/10.9:

Code: Select all

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.coreservices.appleevents ExitTimeOut -int 1
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.securityd ExitTimeOut -int 1
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ExitTimeOut -int 1
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.diskarbitrationd ExitTimeOut -int 1
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.coreservices.appleid.authentication ExitTimeOut -int 1

Hi,

I'll check slow shutdown issue, but not sure how MFC can affect it at the moment

Hi Steven,

I just tried reproducing the issue and it appears to be gone. Might have something to do with the Mavericks GM?

Anyway, I'll post technical information if the issue re-appears!
