One command isn't quick enough for you? Well I mispoke thats what 3 commands. Not being rude but if you made it a script it would be a major security whole. I suppose you could find the shutdown utility and give execute permission to all.

I am running Debian 3.0 R2. In the installation manual it states to shut down the system you need to log in as root and type shutdown -h now. Is there any quicker and easier way to shut down your computer? > > > > Best Regards from Ohio, U.S.A. > Vic > MailTo:vbeckley at wilkshire.net > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
