  • I had an experience like that. The droplet was used as a seedbox for Linux ISO torrents (truth, not a cover) and after a couple of months they contacted me, saying they where seeing abnormal activity to and from the droplet and I should investigate and take action within a week, else they would turn the droplet off.

    After I explained it to them they replied that using a droplet as a seedbox was not allowed, poinnted to the relevant part of their TOS and I agreed to shut it down.

    What the OP is experiencing is a poor way of doing business for them.










  • Instead of just linking to the information, which may be removed in the future, you could have also pasted a snippet of a relevant section. Like:

    If --force is specified twice, the operation is immediately executed without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. This may result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the halt operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.
