shutdown from command line?

#1 Post by somethis »

From a different post I read that it's possible to use a bash style "shutdown -h now" in Puppy Linux 4.20.

1) How can I shutdown from command line in Puppy Linux Wary 5.3?
If it's not possible, is there a way to install "shutdown" for xterm or rxvt?

2) Also, what is good phrase to search google for commands that work in Wary? "bash <command>" would work for the ubuntu bash shell, but not relevant to Wary.

Thank you for any help.

Why search?

Code: Select all

ls /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin | less
will show you all of them.

A click on Help or Hilfe can also help. 8)
