[slackware]Shutting down

hylke · 05-12-2004, 12:26 PM

Hello
When i shutdown my slackware, i still need to push the power button.But when i shutdown
my computer on mandrake, i don't have to do that.
So how can i change that so that i don't have to push the power button?
Thanx Hylke

try apm or acpi .. i usually just test first by typing :

Code:

modprobe apm

and then

Code:

shutdown -h now

Thanx, that works.
But isn't there a way to make that do automaticly?

if it worked, then uncomment the appropriate module in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.
good luck.

But what is the appropriate module?
Because i've searched for shutdown(/shutdown) but it couldn't found anyhting.
So if anyone knows wich one i need to uncomment, i'il be glad to hear it.
