How to make power off

Hi folks,

FC5_64

# shutdown -h now

the PC is halted but not power off. Which file has to be edited for taking effect. TIA

Use poweroff instead.

Hi Lenard,

Tks for your advice. But still failed.

# poweroff

....
.....
Halting system ....
md: stopping all md device
md: md0 switched to read-only mode
Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda:
System halted

So, it says "System halted" but the power doesn't switch off? Try adding the option 'apm=on' (without quotes) to your kernel boot options.

Hi Gethyn,

Tks for your advice.

This FC5_64 box boots automatically whenever switched on. Can I add it on /boot/grub/grub.conf

Code:

...

.....

title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2096_FC5)

        root (hd0,0) 

        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb noapic apm=on quiet

                                                                      ^^^^^^

TIA

B.R.
