It have a lot of way to shutdown/reboot your machine, the easier way is using shutdown button in gnome or KDE menu ;p The another way is using ‘init’ which already intro in Shutdown Using ‘init’. Now I will intro a another command - ’shutdown’.

’shutdown’ have more option than init, you can specific how long you want to wait or the time you want to shutdown/reboot your machine.

To showndown your machine:

shutdown -h now "message"

this will shutdown after you have issues the command. The message can be any message you want send when shutdown/reboot. If you want specific a time, using:

shutdown -h hh:mm "message"

where hh is the hours and mm is the minutes you want shutdown.

To reboot:

shutdown -r now "message"

or

shutdown -r hh:mm "message"

You can also specify the relative time to perform the ’shutdown’ command. For example, if you want shutdown the pc after 10 min:

shutdown -r +10 "message"

so what you think about the ’shutdown’, Is it easy or powerful? I hope you all will enjoy using this command ;p
