Slow shutdown times

[wildwobby]

Lately, I've been getting a problem where when I shutdown, it take about one minute of hanging with everything closed before it turns off. It just shows the background and a little revolving circle thingy. How do I figure out what the problem is? Are there any logs taken during shutdown? I have a feeling it a daemon or service in the background causing problems.

Thanks,
Wildwobby

Long shutdown = hardware issue?

not sure if this is covered yet or not, but how do you differentiate between a hardware issue and a software issue if you have the problem of a long shutdown time...ive seen on this forum that many people are saying their shutdown times are between half a minute to a minute, but i have experienced far worse seeing my MBP takes 5 minutes. I have checked the activity monitor and have closed down all applications before hand, even ran disk utility and did a disk repair (it was saying that my harddrive was corruptted). Any suggestions comments would help a lot.
