Description
Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian, openFrameworks arm6
I've got code in my program to shutdown the Pi using "ofSystem("sudo halt")". Some times it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, it returns an error that says ofSystem() wasn't able to open the return file or something. Maybe it says sudo halt doesn't exist? I'm not sure because I can't reproduce it right now, but it's been happening on and off since I started using ofSystem() on the Pi. Thanks.

Research direction
The issue names ofSystem() and the sudo halt command on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian; start by reproducing the intermittent failure and tracing the error reported when ofSystem() cannot open its return file. Done means the failure is reproducible and the command's behavior or error handling has a clear resolution.
