One is

Code:

su -    (or sudo)

shutdown -h

That will shut down the system and turn off the power.

Another is invoking init directly:

Code:

su -    (or sudo)

init 0

(that's a zero) which will shut the system down and turn off the power.

See the manual pages for both shutdown and init:

Code:

man shutdown

man init

Hope this helps some.

One last quicky way to shut down linux is to simply press the power button.

Hi, try,

Code:

shutdown -h now

-h = halt
-r = reboot

now = right now! may be a period of time in seconds.

some others,
ctrl alt del = reboot
ctrl alt <-(backspace) = logout

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:33 PM.
