Abstract
An embodiment for improving a shutdown sequencing of a computer operating system (OS) is provided. The embodiment may include receiving a command to initiate an OS shutdown. The embodiment may also include creating a first list of running tasks to terminate. The embodiment may further include in response to determining there is no historical data, sending a termination request to a particular running task. The embodiment may also include in response to determining the particular running task requires user input to terminate, increasing a weight of the particular running task. The embodiment may further include in response to determining there is an additional particular running task in the created first list, sending the termination request to the additional particular running task. The embodiment may also include in response to determining the additional particular running task requires the user input to terminate, increasing the weight of the additional particular running task.
