How to avoid this and speed up the shutdown process ?

Environment

During shutdown of Linux computer, process /etc/init.d/CA-DSM with parameter stop is executed.

In the script, the line #169 is executed and it the cause of delay :

sd_jexec unit=. shutdown >> "$startup_logfile" 2>&1

This line is needed only if some SD jobs with option "Run at Shutdown (UNIX only)" is checked

If SD Job option "Run at Shutdown (UNIX only)" is never used, it is possible to disable this by editing the file /etc/init.d/CA-DSM and put in comment the line #169 :

log "Calling sd_jexec unit=. shutdown"
#sd_jexec unit=. shutdown >> "$startup_logfile" 2>&1
