Hi all,

I have to say "mea culpa" -- I just didn't wait long enough after
"shutdown now". After that command the LED  on Raspberry Zero WLAN
flashes several seconds long, and then the RPi will be asleep. I just
misinterpreted the flashing as the next attempt to boot up again.

B.t.w., I also tried to use "poweroff" command several times, but this
termiantes all without prior cleanup properly and, finally I ended up with
a non-working boot-partition which I had to reinstall. Well, the card
survived, and this time it's one from Imation. Let's see how long this
will work.

Best regards,

Markus
