Hi,

shutdown -h now

to reboot: shutdown -r now

PS: you'll need to be root or a sudoer to shutdown.

Subject: help with shutting down

Hi,
I cannot get this Vinux to shut down.
Somehow I got into the terminal, so the power button does not shut it down.
I tried "shutdown --help"
and I really don't understand the options given
I try
shutdown now
and
shutdown +.05
I either need to know how to shut down, or get back to the Gnome desktop.
Thanks.

Glenn
