ShutDown the system

Hello All,

I need to shutdown the system this Sunday because we are going to change our NO-Break and i would like to known which systax is the best option for this situation.

Back a month ago i set the to boot. Do i have to put in the halt mode?


Thanks a lot

Re: ShutDown the system

Hi Bruno,

use init 0 to shutdown the machine.
Stop all applications before.
If you want the machine to boot up to os, when it is switched on, then keep it set to boot. If however the machine has a fault, that makes it boot all the time, then it is not so good for the file system. We have all the alphas set to halt here.

greetings,

Michael

Re: ShutDown the system

shutdown command depend on the installed applications. A good starter is

# init 0

or

# shutdown -h now (or use a time frame)

If you are not sure, stop application manually and use the shutdown -h command.
Help() { FirstReadManual(urgently); Go_to_it;; }
