Very newbie question:turning it off!

[Aurenna]

What cvommand do I have to give to tun the computer off in a non GUI?

[ntt.]

'shutdown -h now' (or '/sbin/shutdown -h now' if that doesn't work)

or just 'halt'.

[Aurenna]

Thanks a lot:)

I am not certain how your box is setup, but I know that I have mine set so that only 'root' can shutdown the machine. So I do an 'su' when I shutdown. I suppose I could give my user account privledges such that I could shutdown. Maybe I ought to give that some consideration. ;)
