It was meant as an example of other server grade software that requires a shutdown reason, even if you could turn it off (which i honestly didn’t know)
Haven’t seen this removed yet in the latest version - which is where I encountered it as I began moving from a 24 scale server and a Xigmanas server to 2 new scale servers.
Unfortunately with the learning I’m doing I’m regularly shutting down and or restarting. It is of no value to me whatsoever to record these and as it’s a couple of clicks, choose dropdown for custom and then garbage it’s intensely frustrating and for a home environment a wrong default on such a feature.
In a DC sure, if that’s what the company wants, but this type of activity should be recorded in the Change management system anyway and that definitely SHOULD be read by anyone attempting to identify an issue that arises so I can see many companies not needing it in the server log either because such things should be recorded centrally not on each individual server so that all teams can see what’s happened.
Anyway if there’s still a debate on whether to address this with a change. Please add 1 to requests to make it configurable (or remove it, don’t really care which)

Hello all and happy continuation for 2025 to all
I too feel that this feature should be optional.
To add insult to injury I have 2 servers in my home environment. each server has EXACTLY the same truenas scale version (25.04) (I always accept the notifications to update). I do get this useless (for my situation) on my dell r720 however on my supermicro server (both are bare metal installations) i do not see this pesky popup.
I do not know what i did when i installed trunas scale from scratch last september after my massive debacle
What could i have done to cause this difference ?
Double check the version numbers on both servers? I think all the Fangtooth, 25.04 series asks for a reason. Goldeye, 25.10 and Halfmoon, 26.04 (upcoming) don’t on the Community Edition.
Did you make a script or something to bypass on one system?
Thank you @SmallBarky for your reply
Truenas is installed on both server as a bare metal installation and are identical (except for the hw).
I migrated both server to Goldeneye today and that solve my issue.
No scripts at all on any server. However i would like to learn how to cause the server to shutdown. I do this every night and in the morning they are started up via WOL via home assistant.
Once again thank you for taking the time from your holidays to respond to my post.
May i take this opportunity to wish you all a brilliant 2026
